99 camaro t56 slave? Hello all, I finally got around to installing my tick master cylinder and new slave cylinder and was curious as to how the internal slave works? I've replaced an external slave cylinder before, but never an internal. I was bench bleeding the new system and got most of the air out of the system but then I noticed the slave was leaking fresh fluid all over the floor (bleeder valve was tightly closed) So my question is, is it not supposed to be bench bled? Is the pressure plate supposed to put pressure on the O ring inside the plastic spring holder? Or did the autoparts store sell me a bad slave? Thanks.

I'm going to ask a dumb question so forgive me, but did you shorten the rod on the tick master as far as it would go and start from there or did you install the pedal at stock height?
The tick unit moves more than twice the fluid of the stock master. It is possible that the seal on the slave blew out due to over-stroke. Sort of what your description sounds like. The stock GM slave is sufficient most of the time in general.

Probably. What I'll advise with a tick is to set it to its lowest position and keep lengthening the rod until you can just barely shift gears smoothly with the car off. Then start the car and get to barely shifts smoothly with engine running. Then test drive that setting. It's usually close and it's usually about an inch lower than the brake pedal

The gm slave has 13mm stroke. If it's only moving 1/4" it's not right.
