Luckily he's getting a monster stage 2 clutch/lightweight flywheel and 01-02 OEM master, were gonna do the drill mod on it.
Now that's a hydraulic issue...lol

Sounds like the slave is leaking.. That's what mine did at 112K.

First time I went to track in my car with drag radials, the pedal stuck to the floor between 1-2 shift, and the 2-3 shift. Gave up after that. Haven't had a problem since switching to the Tick master.

Besides the adjustable rod, it flows more than the stock master. I don't have any proof other than my pedal never sinks or sticks to the floor anymore. Its a tilton unit.

Yeah that would suck! I haven't had any issues with the master yet. Not sure if the symptoms are the same or not.

ok....Then it's a bigger cylinder which pushes more fluid.....that in turn pushes the hrb further to release the clutch. I have noticed it to be hit or miss with some guys.

I run a stock master and a qtr master hrb.

Did you remove the helper spring at the top of the clutch pedal also? That alone has fixed a sticking pedal for a few.

Anyone know what the stock master bore is? I have one I could cut apart but I hate to since it's still a good one.

Did you take the spring out at the same time of the master replacement?

If so then that could scew the results of the master change.

No I took the spring out a few months after. It had a small dead section the top with the spring. Only difference between the two setups that I can remember. I think the stock bore is 3/4.

I don't care about 60' much stoppy. I've said this before. I also went 11.5 before I ever ran the car on a dr. I've never raced anyone for just 60' and I don't have a bracket car. My clutch was not the hold up an my 60 anyway. Since your car is so great you should've run it on your nitto's. Then we coulda compared our 60'......but YOU pussed out on that.
So you hve a used $700 clutch? You definately are winning there!

I wouldn't care about 60' much either if I had a car not capable of doing it. I pussed out on running with my daily driver tires? I go to the track to run my best time. Don't get all but hurt because you can't run a racecar tire without your pile breaking.

Lol.... you have a hard time comprehending. The money spent was on new parts. The clutch, discs and plates were free.

Man your worried about that 60. Hell the shortest foot race we did in school was 50yards and your worried about a measly 60 feet in a car. Hell i guess i would feel that way to if my car was only worth a **** for 60 feet.

You are the one that said it was used. Want me to quote you? And you are the one comparing LS1 cars with more mods and power against a NA 4.6l with less mods.

More winning for team Mustang

Stock master is 3/4" bore. Ours is 7/8". It is also adjustable so that you may increase or decrease the stroke that the rod has which in turn moves more or less fluid. Our line is also larger and heat shielded from accidentally boiling the fluid from getting too hot.

Since 1992 all I did was swap one cable,and added an adjustable quadrant. Worked for me and with the right clutch very streetable. No leaking clutch slave cylinders,master cylinders etc. I think its much more reliable than the hydraulic Fbody crap
