Very important to note, if the LS7 clutch was installed & broke in with a stock master it will not work with ANY master (modified stock or aftermarket) that pushes more fluid than the stock master. This issue has recently come to light for many of us that installed it when our stock master was working fine but now that it needs attention its a issue.

I am going to rebump this..Curious what Tick has to say about this? I never heard about this before, but seems a little far fetched. So if this is true, you guys are saying that ANYONE that already has a LS7 clutch installed in their car, can't use a Tick master. The only exception would be the people that swap in a brand new LS7 clutch at the same as the Tick Master.
And for everyone arguing my statement, argue it if you want but I got my info on the phone from Jonathon and Joey firsthand so I guess good luck with the cheap slaves and be prepared to change them early.

If you dont believe in it swap masters & find out the hard way. Several other people have already done this & it usually ends in buying a new clutch assembly without a adjustable pressure plate.

Not far fetched at all. This is the case. The adjustable pressure plate adjusts to whatever master is installed during the bleeding & break-in process. If you install a different master that pushes a different amount of fluid the slave will act differently & you will have issues.

Wow. All this is news to me. Just did an M6 swap with a used LS7 clutch into my car, and while it was out I put in a Tick MC. Got everything back together a couple weeks back and the car drives great, no issues. But, I haven't really been hard on it yet. What kind of issues are you all experiencing with an LS7 clutch broken in with the stock master, then switching to a Tick or aftermarket MC? Difficulty shifting all the time, or just at high rpm?

I bought a new LS7 clutch with the stock master and had this problem from the get go. Swapped to a Ram adjustable and it helped a little. I had the company send me a new clutch under warrenty and STILL have the same exact problem! I bought a Tick yesterday before seeing this thread. I am so pissed off with this clutch. It has been the biggest headache thus far. Its a smooth peddle but a shitty clutch. I have a new GM slave, i have done the drill mod, i have put shims in and taken out, i have peddle bled and pressure bled the system. Every thing i have tried has helped but not fixed the problem.
