alright guys i installed a new monster stage 3 with a new tick mc and slave, everything feels great, im still getting use to the new clutch. the car has about 400 miles on the new setup, now the new tick is squeaking as i push the peddle down, i bled the slave and used 2 bottles of prestone dot 4 fluid and its still squeaking
, not only that but the fluid still comes out black.
ill give tick a call monday morning and see what they say but untill then does anyone know what it could be.

i double checked,its the master cylinder, i got under the dash and pushed the clutch peddle down with my hand while the car was off and it still makes that squeaking noise.

Have you checked for leaks? Are you losing fluid that you know of? Did you check teh pivot point under dash, and maybe it is just the pedal *** that is making teh noise?

I was going to ask if you put any grease on the zerk fitting on the rod but if you are pushing it by hand then its not that making the noise.
As for the black brake fluid I cant imagine why, I installed my TMC with new fluid but still had the old slave with the little but of fluid that was in it and after about 1500 miles my fluid is still clear.

I am inclined to think you MIGHT have that, an issue with th MC. If everything is new, fluid is black though, MC squeaks (and not pedal ***.) and now pedal is getting mushy. It can still be other things of course, but does sound like a MC problem.

Yes, could be. You know, what you could do is, IF, you still have the old MC, and IF it was still good to begin with, you COULD put the old MC back on, and give it another go with old MC and new slave, and see how it flies then....

I am also noticing some squeaking coming from my Tick MC, I will be changing my fluid today, my MC has like 3,000 miles on it - still works great. I will be following this thread closely.
