I have a 2006 427 Z making around 570 whp.

Upgraded the clutch to a Katech LS9X with great results.

However after about 500 miles the clutch pedal started feeling a little mushy and would sink down a few inches when I was on it.

Changed out the Stock GM Master Cylinder....Problem Fixed....For maybe 100 miles. Spoke with Jason at Katech and he said to put a Tick Master Cylinder in it. Done. Problem Fixed.

However the clutch still felt a little soft if you will at times, especially after getting on it hard a few times. Jason from Katech told me they came out with a Heavy Duty Tilton Slave so I picked one up and did the swap.

DAM is all I can say. This is by miles the best clutch set up I personally have ever had. I really cannot say in words how nice this clutch is now

Glad to hear it man. I just received this little bad boy in the mail yesterday. It sure is pretty.

torqjunky

Man you are going to absolutely love that set-up

Here is what my last ZR1 Slave looked like when removed.



I have since replaced another one, that was just leaking badly.

If the new Katech HD Slave will fix this problem I will be super happy!

Very nice, I get my Katech HD slave in just a few days. I hope it is worth it, sounds like it though. I have the exact same issues as torqjunky. I already have the tick master too.

Will this work with any clutch?

Is this Tiltons slave or Katech's new slave they were talking about last month?

Will this work in a 2013?

It looks to be from off Katech's site.

I thought the Tick unit was for pre-09 models only? If not this would be great news!

I htink the slave only works with the LS9X and LS9R clutches. or any clutch that uses a ZR1 slave. but I might be wrong. I think when I talked to Jason couple weeks ago he said something like that. I am sure he will chim in here soon

Unless tick has a new MC it only works for pre 09 models.. It said it on their web page last time I checked.

Katech_Zach

Yes and yes.

As walhan_qtr said, it will work with the LS9X/LS9R, or probably any clutch that uses ZR1 slave cylinder stack-up.

I know their website says that, but I don't know why. We've put them on 2009 vehicles.

Thanks for the excellent feedback!

Looks like a great unit. Glad to see more innovation.

However you should see or pay the labor bill to replace the faulty stock ZR1 Slave. I have replaced 3 of them. If this product holds up, and I don't have to pay those labor bills anymore then it is well worth the price!

So let me get this right. If you buy a LS9R/X clutch and you want to avoid the clutch pedal drop issue, get the Tick adj MC ($359). Also, if you want to avoid the plastic parts in the LS9 Slave Cyl from melting, you need to buy a special billet katech/Tilton slave cyl for about $900. Thats a lot of money for a production-type clutch performance, that in my case, would not allow me to upshift above 6800ish, when I'm used to shifting up to 7400 when needed.

Katech_Zach

Did you buy this LS9X clutch from us? The one you had problems shifting at 6800.

DaddyBarlow

I bought LPE's version. Same as Katech's but it had the steel flywheel.

Katech_Zach

Thanks for clarifying. By some of your posts it was sounding like you were having trouble with a Katech product, but in fact you were having trouble with a Lingenfelter product.
