Tick Master installed! Couldnt be happier! I put my Tick MC in last week and WOW. The clutch feels way better and shifting is much smoother! I can powershift easily now and couldn't do it at all before. The install wasn't that bad, took maybe 2 hours with some breaks and beer drinking in there too. I started with the pedal as short as it would go. I lengthened it little by little until I could get the car in gear. Then started test driving it and adjusted more from there. I ended up with my pedal sitting about even with the brake pedal. Heres a short vid "attempting" to shift it on the floor lol

Haha nice. Were you having high-rpm shift problems before? Clutch pedal wouldn't come back up all the way? Mine does that... :C
Funny I had a 95 Formula that I sold for my 99 Trans Am.

It just did not want to go in gear at high rpms. It would rake sometimes and other times you could get it, but you could never grab the next gear with any sort of speed. I never had problems with the pedal sticking

OP, I've got a Monster Stage 3 clutch with Tick Master and I just adjusted the clutch pedal height 2 nights ago. Before, the clutch pedal was like 2 1/2 inches above the brake pedal and the overall clutch travel was so annoying. I adjusted it to just about dead even with my brake pedal and I don't have any issues getting it into gear. My question is this; have you drove the car extremely hard since you adjusted the pedal height? Now that the pedal is even with the brake pedal, the clutch pedal itself doesn't feel as hard to push down. I was just wondering if the clutch pedal still comes back up ok under high RPM shifting.

The reason it is easier to press the pedal downwards is that you have decreased the amount of stroke your master cylinder has. Because of this, you have decreased the amount of fluid you're cylinder is moving. As a result, the effort required to depress the pedal is now lessened.
The reason our master cylinder makes your clutch pedal effort higher is due to the amount of increased fluid volume that it moves due to the increase in bore diameter our master has over the factory master. The longer the stroke(higher the clutch pedal) the more fluid volume that the master cylinder moves. Think of it as an air pump(or in this case a fluid pump). The longer the stroke and larger the bore the more volume it will move.
This is why the pedal is a bit heavier with ours, but the result is lightning fast shifting that could never be accomplished with the factory master AND our LIFETIME WARRANTY that accompanies the product.
How many aftermarket products do you know of that carry a lifetime warranty? Not very many...
Thanks for all the kind words as well guys! Tick Shift FTW!

I can't tell much difference then before with pedal feel. Maybe a little higher where it engages but that's it.
I can't believe years of frustration where solved with this.
Anyone who reads this thread with a 6speed.
JUST DO IT STOP READING AND JUST GO DO IT.
YOU'RE WELCOME.

I just installed a tick master. Couldn't shift above 4k rpm, or get into reverse or first. Now it shifts smoothly all the way to redline, and the engagement is more precise. Absolutely necessary mod for a 6 speed, I can finally drive the car.
