One thing I do need to do is adjust my master cylinder, this clutch with the tick master needs very little throw. Don't want to over extend the pp.

i left my tick right where it was since i had the stock clutch before and most are designed to actuate with the same travel as stock. I found that I could still change gears fine but the clutch would grab really close to the floor if i moved it down and that kind of scared me.

With my cam and such I had to tune mine a bit even more so after the fast 102 because the revs would drop too quick and stall saver would try to save it but usually couldnt. Now though it drives just fine

Ram requires the adjustable MC to be adjusted so the clutch grabs as low as possible, basically right off of the floor. Im not going to go to that extreme, but I definitely have to bring it down a bit. Weather has been crappy the past few days so haven't driven the car since.

Adjusted the MC so it grabs pretty close to the floor as Ram says to. Drives really great, Im in love with this clutch. The only thing Im not too happy with is the pedal firmness and how low my pedal is to the floor, but thats because of the Tick MC. Even with my old clutch it was way lower than the brake pedal, just not a fan of it. Im wondering if the Mcleod MC would be a little more forgiving?

So as an update, I just swapped my Tick master cylinder from the 7/8" bore that it comes with normally to a 3/4" bore and wow, what a difference. It behaves and feels very close to what a stock one feels like. Much lighter pedal and more travel as well, less on/off switch-y.

Im VERY happy with this clutch, so much so that Im probably going to order one for when I swap in the LS/T56 into my 92 Trans Am. But for now its time to get some mileage on it so I can beat on it, 360ish miles to go.

Bump for a long term update on the 9.5? I have a 10.5 in the car from its blower days and now that I'm NA, I'm debating going down to the 9.5 for the price and weight.
