Default People that have a tick master

i know its an awsome piece but just wanted to hear some opinions before i order it. latley i cant shift fast for ****, every gear when i try to snap it just wont go in. its like im hitting a wall theres no grind it just wont go in. it only happens shifting at high rpms drving around town its fine. my clutch fluid is clean there is no air in the line my slave cyl only has 4k on it and so does my ls7 clutch. just seeing what you guys think and if any of you had similar problems and if the tick master fixed them

I couldn't get into reverse and whenever I stayed in 1st too long in traffic it was almost impossible to go back into first after I took it out. Once I installed the tick master everything was fixed.

i noticed that my car doesnt shift any better with the Tick master installed than it did with the 2 stock masters i had in the car previously. have also had 2 clutches & 3 slaves with the Tick master installed. my pedal will go to the floor at the big end of the track as well. clutch needing bled isnt the issue either. just givng my experience with it though as most people think it cures everything.

BTDT. Pedal on floor and shift denial. Installed Tick. No more problems with either of those two things.

Before I had one, my clutch would release all the way, it when downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear. It also was hard to get it gear. It all went away with the new master and clutch.

Mine works great. Much better than stock. Stiffer pedal but its worth it. Although, I have one of the early ones that doesn't plug the hole in the firewall, which pisses me off.

My tick m/c really made the car fun to beat on. I had the same issues and this was the cure. An awesome mod that is def worth the cash.

First off, I love the mod. Makes the car more enjoyable to drive. The only issue I have is I get varying pedal pressure. It seems a little harder to properly bleed the system out. If anyone has any tips on this that would be great.
