Default Tick M/C Alternate
I'm putting a new clutch in the car and wanted to put everything back together ASAP. Would an adjustable Ram or any other Master besides the Tick work for powershifting 480rwhp-600rwhp on spray occasionally? I want the tick but my pockets are saying I cant. Any info would help.

Ya gotta pay to play... The Ram is nothing but a stock master with an adjustable rod end welded to it.

Matter fact I just looked at the Tick M/C website and I didn't know it had a lifetime warranty. Def. worth the buy.

Yeah man the Tick is definatly worth every penny! I just had one put in my car. Before I could forget shifting at all above 4500 rpm, but now theres no problem whatsoever. The 300 price tag is a small price to pay to have the shifting issue go away

Honestly I had a RAM adjustable master with custom hard line to the stock slave and when I change to the TICK MC it made absolutely no difference. The hard line was a PITA to get in and out of the car though.

The warranty is great, and so is the fact that it can be fully rebuilt! We have one in my wife's car, and am very happy with it!

Just purchased it. For 300 bucks it's def. a good deal, plus I missed being able to shift above 5 without the clutch sticking. Thanks for the inputs.

congrats! The install is pretty easy, I did a bench bleed on mine before
I installed it http://home.comcast.net/~buschman_00...utchbleed.html
I also installed a tick in my buddies SS after using the same bench bleed method, it worked well!

I received the M/C the very next day. Very quick shipping and a well put together unit. Can't wait to get it installed once the Clutch get here. Thanks Tick
