No dice. The pedal still gets soft and hesitates coming back on hard shifts. Could it be a problem with the pedal adjustement? I have it adjusted pretty far out right now.
The pedal doesn't seem to feel any different. It feels decently firm. Not as hard to mpush as other clutches I had, but being a different clutch I'm not sure how it should feel.
When you were vacuuming it, before you pumped the pedal, were the bubbles stopping? Mine seems to have bubbles constantly.

I adjusted the pedal down and it still does the same thing. I'm not sure where stock is exactly as I had a stock master before this Tick unit, but it is noticeably lower now that I just adjusted it, but didn't seem to affect the problem at all.
The thing about the Mighty Vac that bothered me is that the bubbles never stop coming out. I don't think there's a leak in the system because I'm not losing fluid and the pedal has good feel, but I don't know what to make of it.
I suppose I could just shift it like a bitch from now on and only race stuff with 100 less hp than me, haha.

wtf is going on I wonder humm. so it shifts in in every gear but when ur dumping the clutch through the gears the pedal wants to stay on the floor cuz there's not enough pressure 2 bring it back up right? sounds like u need 2 do the drill mod to move more fluid 2 me. I just did it but the motors still on the floor cuz I've been wating for 3 fucken weeks for header bolts from HEAVY6.0 @ SPEEDTWEEKERZ. *******

Basically the car drives fine until you try to shift real fast at high rpm when you get on it. It's like the pedal goes soft or something and hesitates in returning. This causes it to bounce off the limiter when you hit the gas (or powershift). My brother sat in the passenger seat and was able to actually see the pedal staying down. The Tick master comes with an attached line, so there's no drill mod to do. I really don't know what to do other than contacting the vendors for advice tomorrow.

Yeah, it says right on their website that it's a new line that doesn't need the drill mod. Also, the Mcloud uses the stock line that just gets transfered over. The Tick comes with a line that's attached to the master and can't be removed as far as I know.
I definitely appreciate all the help, I'm just bummed out as these stupid problems. I'm calling it quits for today and I'll contact Tick and Monster tomorrow and see what they recommend. They're always helpful.
Thanks again!

That really sucks. I was optimistic that bleeding it with the Mity Vac would solve the problem, especially after seeing all the air come out of it, but it clearly hasn't worked. I'd definitely give Tick, Monster, and anyone else a call tomorrow and find out what the hell is going on. The pedal feels good. Also let them know that it's giving you a little trouble going into reverse. It just feels all around notchier than it did before you swapped everything out. It's not like we haven't done this a thousand times and don't know what we're doing.

Just spoke with the guys at Monster and their recommendation is to start out by pressure bleeding the system rather than vacuum bleeding it. I'm gonna make a few calls as I should be able to get a hold of one. Once I get it bled that way I'll let you guys know how it went!
