Default Master problems?

Seems like when I release my clutch it changes where it engages on the pedal. My car has 85k with a spec 3, the clutch probably has 15-20k miles. Barely any drag racing.... The tranny could use a rebuild since it seems to shift not so smooth.


Is this a symptom of a master going bad?

Thanks, I plan to get a tick adj.

Did you go through any of the Hydraulics when you swapped the clutch? Slave or Master? Ram makes a nice Master as well which we have on our website.

We replaced the slave with the updated one when we installed the clutch.

The RAM is only an OEM master with a rod end and threaded stud

The RAM Master is a joke. Our piece and the McLeod are the only two on the market capable of flowing a significant amount more fluid than the stocker.

Check our FAQ here for a very informative read: http://www.tick-performance.com/tick...aulics/#master
