Pop! No clutch (TICK MC) Was driving my car to lunch today, and at a stop sign i pushed my clutch pedal in and it made a pop, my pedal got super stiff, and it doesn't want to go in gear.
It's like I have no clutch. I limped it back by shoving it into gear, the clutch slightly works but hardly at all. No weird noises or anything..just lost my clutch. I tried what I could in my short lunch break at work...tried adjusting the rod on the Tick M/C, tried bleeding it...nothing.
Specs:
1999 Corvette C5, stock motor no mods
Tick performance M/C - have had for 7 months.
Tick rep said that it might be the internal seal of the master...what does it sound like to you guys? Please don't tell me pressure plate or clutch/slave haha.

Disconnect the line at the slave. You should not be able to push the pedal - even if you borrow your friend's gorilla.
If you can push the pedal with the line disconnected, it's the master. If not, you're probably looking at something in the bell housing.
Verify the line is fully connected. It might just have sprung loose. Happens on rare occasions.

There should be an anti drain valve in the quick connect. If it's disconnected, you should have to press in on it with a screwdriver to get it to move

Setting at a stop light last Saturday with trans in neutral, light turns green, push clutch and put it in 1st. Start to let the clutch out and pop, car dies, push clutch in and it's super hard, car won't even turn over. Put it in neutral and starts like normal but won't go in any gear. Had to call a tow truck. Ordered a new Monster Level 2. Will be here tomorrow. Pretty sure the pressure plate let go.

Okay....took the quick disconnect off and now it wont go back on...? What the hell is the trick to this?
I literally put all my strength into pushing the master line back into the slave...it doesnt even start to click into place.. is there a trick to reinstalling this thing? Tried depressing the valve thinking it had pressure or something, and it depressed very easily. Yet when I try to push it into the slave fitting...nothing...hard as rock, wont go in.

That's not right. They always go right on. You could try cracking the bleeder open to take pressure off the slave and see if it will go in.
Starting to sound like the slave or pressure plate is what went pop.

Something else I forgot to mention is that when I was driving it home after it first happened, it was slipping really bad even in 6th gear. 6th gear, 75mph, around 2k rpm, if I went full throttle it'd just slip the clutch.

Yeah I figured it wasn't normal. I wish that cracking the bleeder was as easy as it sounds, lol.

Now that you added that last part, combined with that POP, its sounding pressure plate-ish. You're going to need to pull the tranny to at least look at everything.
Suggestion - if you do pull the tranny, order a remote bleeder from Tick for $XX. Worth every penny to be able to sit in the driver's seat and just bleed the clutch in ten minutes from dead empty. Even if you find out everything is OK, get the bleeder.

Yeah, wrenching is so much easier on the internet...

Any good reviews with the Mantic ER2? Or should I just go with a Monster Stage 2?

Well....I tore it all apart. What a pain in the ***!!!!! Never again man, never again.
The pressure plate has a bent finger. I'm sure that's part of the problem, or the whole problem.
Now I have another question, with my axles out of my differential, should my differential be leaking from the areas where the axles slide into it?
