Tick Master cylinder ?
Question for those with a tick master cylinder behind their t56 with 3rd gen pedals. Where is your clutch pedal in relation to your brake pedal? I know thats not how its adjusted but I am trying to fine tune mine and i think i orginally had too much leangth on it. I brought it down some and still seems good so far, but I was just curious becuase it never sat under my brake pedal like it is described in the instructions for the 4th gen setups at the beginning of adjusting. I just swapped gears this last weeknd and granted i know part of it is breaking them in and that they are quite different from my 2.73s, but i just noticed that it felt like it was engaging really far out on the pedal. Part of it could be to trying to get use to driving it all over again now that it actually has a decent gear behind it.
Thanks,
Jay

Re: Tick Master cylinder ?
The master has nothing to do with the rear gears, It will travel the same before and after. With a different clutch it may change slightly
You're supposed to adjust it so you don't overtravel the slave cylinder when you have the pedal to the floor. You can adjust it slightly past the minimum travel required, but if you go too far you need to put a pedal stop on the floor so you don't push too much fluid. Where it sits and engages for someone else is going to be different for everyone.

I realize that the rear gears have nothing to do with it, i was stating that it was more noticeble after the gear swap. But thanks anyhow.

As far as i am aware no, the pedals are from a 91 camaro rs. It just seems that the pedal is out quite a bit, and has a high engagement point. i tried adjusting it lower but it doesn't go into 1st easily so i had to raise it back up.

be careful about over travelling the slave. Third gen pedals or the slave geometry or something allows for a LOT more travel than what the fourth gen setups have. All of us have our clutch pedals way out past the brake. I was thinking the Tick master should solve it.

Re: Tick Master cylinder ?
I have a Ram modified Clutch Master (plus the RAM throwout bearing). Did my own thing when placing the master. Recommend doing the regular.
Clutch pedal out way past brake. My setup uses all of that travel- pedal on the floor/ full release. Love to have a bit less clutch pedal travel, but not to be.
LS1 & T56….yummy!

Re: Tick Master cylinder ?
Im using 4th gen pedals and my clutch pedal sits slightly higher then the brake pedal and Im using a tick master. I did originally adjust it with too much fluid travel..which luckily my ls7 clutch recovered from after a few months of driving in heavy traffic.
I will say if its a new clutch then adjusting the pedal is tricky.the clutch needs to be broken in right to have the pedal adjusted right.But I adjusted as tick suggests..start with the minimum travel and move up in small increments on a flat surface and see how the car reacts etc.
