Installed my Tick Master Cylinder/ Monster Stg 1 Clutch, Very Happy!
#21
Im having a similar issue with my 2000 z28 but its a tad different. Driving normal all is fine, all gears are smooth, clutch pedal acts right, no problems. If i drive the car hard, after a high rpm shift or quick shift the clutch pedal will only come back up from the floor about 1/2 way and ill have to stick my foot under it to pull it back up so i can shift again. Its very annoying and it does it 9/10 times when shifting quickly or at high rpms...Any ideas? Just for reference, the car has 271,xxx miles on it. I know the clutch has been replaced within the last few years, im assuming with a stock replacement. I dont know if anything else has ever been replaced.

For me, I ended up needing the Tick Master because I didn't shim the slave like I should have and I needed an adjustable master that could essentially do the job the shim would, which is extending the throw out bearing farther to push the PP finger's farther in to fully disengage the clutch. The plus side was I have better shifting because of the Tick Master though. And sometimes even if you shim the slave, you could need to pull the entire tranny down again to install a thinner or thicker shim.
Personally, I'd start off with the Tick Master. Even though some guys with the stock GM PP like you have had the Tick fix their high rpm shifting problems, there is also some that it didn't solve and the guys have to get rid of that stupid stock PP. Tick Master is cheaper and easier to install than an entire clutch kit so I'd start there. If you end up needing to get rid of that stock PP and get a new clutch kit installed, well, IMO you would have wanted to have the Tick Master with it anyway.

Myself like the OP of this thread started with the small stuff, hell I even did the tick master before I did my clutch, but it was the clutch all along (almost new ls6 unit) and I feel like in almost every instance it IS the clutch causing the problems as your symptoms are identical to what mine were.
Basically what's going to happen is you're going to spend a bunch of time and money to fix it and the only way to guarantee it's fixed is to replace the hydraulics (the master preferably a tick unit) and a quality clutch (I went with a diamond stage 2 with a chromoly flywheel and it works FANTASTIC).
Good luck!

Btw excellent youtube vid of the drill mod.. easily walked me through changing it when I put the tick in.
Glad you got your issues worked out. Monster clutch was my first choice but I got an extremely good offer that I couldn't refuse on my setup.

Sorry bud, you can search and search for what I know you're looking for but I know you won't find it. No one is going to be able to tell you that it's the slave, the master or the clutch.

I've just recently installed a Monster Stage 2, and Tick Master. I'm currently having a hell of a time reinstalling my transmission, but I still have the bellhousing attached to the trans. I'm going to separate them and try it the way you described in your video. As far as the installation was concerned, I had absolutely zero problems. It's a much easier job than I imagined, just a little time consuming. Maybe I missed it OP, but why didn't you opt for the speedbleeder? I don't even have my car back together yet, but can already say that this speedbleeder has to be the best $50 I've ever spent!
On another note, what clutch & brake fluid are you guys running?

I just use basic Dot 4 brake fluid from Orielly's or Autozone.
P.S. I didn't get the speed bleeder because I have the hole drilled in my floor pan. I can bleed it by myelf just under my dash.

It has to be around 150lbs or so. It's more "bulky" than heavy, if that makes any sense. Just awkward.
I took mine down with the bellhousing attached though, so there is the added weight there. Also had 4 quarts of trans fluild in there when I dropped her down.

I know this a old thread but I just adjusted my tick MC today to The height of my brake pedal and I feel like it starts to engage at the height of the brake pedal, did your clutch engage that high as well?
