Thumbs up Way To Go TICK!!!

I had my tick master installed thursday. "What a difference!" I had a tex installed last year with all new GM slave and master and it drove like crap. The pedal was low and inconsistent and fast or high rpm shifting was an impossibility. This master fixed all of these issues and the car drives like a dream. This is very bad news for my 10 bolt! I would highly recommend this master.

That sounds great! Especially because I also have a Tex with similar issues and my new Tick Master cylinder is supposed to arrive tomorrow!

What do you mean you can't find it? It wasn't included?

Check the bottom of the box. Mine was packaged underneath all the wrapping.

Can't wait to get mine in. Those missed shifts are starting to be embarrassing.

It was but I think my fiancee threw it away. Hopefully Joey can get me another one the adjustment piece is a custom coupler nut made specific for Tick.

got mine in today, putting it where it goes on the firewall is Pain, a royal pain. I swore it would not fit, but with a little persistance and a few choice words it went in and I got it bolted up. Tomorrow bleeding the thing and then setting the pedal. Very nice piece, I sure hope it fixes my disengagement problem.

We will be releasing a GTO system soon...we have one already installed on a local car. We have a few issues to work out regarding the line; hopefully we can create a piece that will not require tranny removal to be installed like the braided lines currently offered for the GTO.

This master is one of the prettiest things you will never see. And for only having 2 bolts its a damn difficult job getting the old one out and the new in. I think what killed me on taking it out was the ubolt did not pull out from the stocker.

Keep in mind that our kit doesn't allow you to adjust where at on the pedal that clutch disengages. No kit does! That is specified 100% by the clutch & pressure plate manufacturer.

When you adjust our kit, you're increasing the amount of fluid that it flows to guarantee a full disengagement with your particular setup.
