Default Heavy clutch Tick Master or Monster?

I installed both at the same time so I don't know which is the culprit. I have a tick master and a Monster stage 3. I've had them installed for a couple years and I will be needing a new clutch soon and I would rather have something with a lighter pedal. Input?

Tick has an increased bore size. Ask about a cylinder w/ smaller bore.

Did you remove the clutch spring on the pedal? I have a Tick master and an LT1-SC twin disk which I've been told is too much clutch for my build. I don't mind it so much until I'm getting caught up in traffic.

I installed it so long ago I don't even remember. I have to check. My pedal isn't horrible, more annoying than anything. If its the pressure plate that is causing the hard pedal then I want to find one that has better drivability...maybe a twin disk.

Its probably both. Check out the adjustable stock clutch master for more fluid movement with stock feel.

IIRC the Tick MC is larger bore than the stock 3/4" which will increase pedal effort about 10+%

If your HP in sig is correct....a twin disc clutch (McLeod) which uses a stock bore MC would give a like stock pedal feel but twice the friction surface for holding.

I wish I had done my twin swap earlier instead of aggressive single disc clutches

I think I want a twin disc this time around.

Diy is cheapest but there are one or two sold on the usual sites. Look a few threads down for the how to diy
