Default Coming Soon: Tick Performance Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder for C6 Corvettes!

It has certainly been a long time coming, but I just want to let you guys know that our C6 Adjustable Clutch Master Cylinder Kits are very close to being released!

For those that aren't familiar, our LS1 F-Body, GTO and C5 Corvette Adjustable Master Cylinder Kits are wildly popular for being the only Master Cylinder available that actually lets you adjust the amount of fluid the hydraulic system flows - guaranteeing a full clutch disengagement with any clutch setup you run.

Our kit for the C6 Corvette will allow you the ability to shift MUCH quicker than ever before, and also relieve any other hydraulic headaches you may be experiencing. A bonus for you guys? It also looks like it'll be our easiest kit to install!

Quicker Shifts. Longer clutch life. Longer transmission life. An all around better driving experience for all of us six speed guys.

Coming soon!

Will this be a Clutch slave and Master assembly or just the Master? I have a Ram adjustable slave in there now and it would be good to be able to adjust it at the Master.

Just thinking about it and if it is adjustable, it should help with setting up a 2 step as well...

How long is soon, 1-3months, 3-6 months, 6 months to 1 year?

We make the master adjustable, and we design it to work with the factory slave.

Hopefully due for release within the next few weeks!

With the shift grind issues going on with the C6. Will it stop the gears from grinding?

Will this fix the clutch sticking problem that so many C6s are plagued with?

Great product and a great company to deal with as well. My brother has the Tick remote bleeder which makes life so much easier and I know of at least four other people with the Tick adjustable master that are thoroughly happy with it.

My car is a C6Z06 - 2007 with an RPS twin billet carbon clutch with stock master and slave cylinders

Will this work for me?

We have a car running one now and we just want to do a bit more testing until we release the finished product. The cylinder will "twist" into place like the factory cylinder, however we may still require the pedal be removed for a slight modification to make the pedal effort itself a bit less.

The line exiting our master will plug to the existing line coming from the slave so if the Ram slave directly replaced the factory slave and line they should work ok together. We may also offer an upgraded braided line to replace the factory rubber/steel line but that would be an upgrade done when the transmission is removed only.

If transmission grinding occurs then one possibility is the clutch isn't fully disengaging. If thats the source of the grind then our master will certainly help the situation.

Our master should also improve the "sticking" clutch problem but dirty or overheated fluid can also cause those issues. A slipping clutch can overheat the fluid quickly causing the pedal to stick to the floor even though the clutch is fully engaged.

It should fit 2005-2008 models; both z06 and non-z06. We need to do more research on the '09 and '10 cars.

If this will improve or better yet completely alleviate the "pedal sticking to the floor on high rpm shifts" I'll buy one right now!!

I am interested. I am changing clutch right now, because of grinding during shifts. That and 50,000 miles.

We have what should be our final version installed into a local car now. The next step is to get our supply of brackets and lines in order. Hopefully we'll have these ready to ship within a month.
