ok so i have a 99 T/A with the 6 speed ....basicly when i wind it up hard when i hit the clutch it still feels like its grabbing a little and it wont let you shift fast at all ...ive heard of this "drill" mod? could that be the issue....and what is the skip shift light for? and why is there a part to get rid of it? im new to this car so plz help
Drill mod is basically only for a "sticky" pedal problem.
Skip shift light is an "economical" feature car manufactures added which forces the driver to shift from 1st gear to 4th gear. It works off both speed and engine RPM I believe. You will notice once you hit a certain speed or RPM, the skip shift light will turn off which allows you to shift directly from 1st to 2nd gear.
so do you have any idea on my clutch still feeling like its grabbing when close to redline? its almost impossibe to shift quickly at all making it slower also
i realize im posting a lot of threads but im new and just have alot of questions
Don't worry about asking questions, that is what this site is for :)
I am not understanding what you are describing exactly. Are you saying that your pressure plate on your clutch is "not" disengaging from the flywheel? You are saying "grabbing", but that is what the clutches job is. It should constantly be engaged (pressure plate to the flywheel) as long as your clutch pedal is up.
Like when Im at about 6000 rpm and I depress the pedal I will here the clutch half way Grabbing and it won't let me shift for a sec or two....almost like its not completely disengaging
Look up info on the Tick Master Cylinder
pushes more fluid than stock and is supposed to fix your issue
yeah i was thinkin it was just a lack in pressure
before you do anything check the clutch fluid. could be old and dirty fluidQuote:

still not sure how that little vac thing works
It is a vacuum...it sucks it out.
Yeah...the syringe method the guy used for the Corvettes in that link you showed me also seems like it would work well also
thats what i thought too. why buy that mityvac if a large syringe would work?Quote:

well i just checked the fluid and its deff. nice and black ....so i suppose ill change it lol
I was having trouble shifting and getting a floppy non returning pedal.
My fluiud was black. I put a Tick master in last weekend. OMG What a difference. Shifts great now. Not to hard to install.
Yeah the main thing right now is a lack of money because I'm a full time student. And I'm pay for all my college by my self .I'm smart for doin some community college cuz its cheaper....but anyways I did like the master cylinder seemed good.... also sometimes my peddle sticks half way but it feels more mechanical than fluid for that issue but Idk
My peddle had been sticking too. Mainly when I drove it hard. Have not
had that happen again since I replaced the master. I did not really realize how bad it was until it was replaced. Clutch feels completely different now.
Sucks the Tick is so dang expensive. It is a nice unit though. Wish I would have took a pic of the 2 next to each other. Your like really that little POS was in my car......
Heres another clutch question i have a whole new clutch assembly for my ta i had a dude at ky clutch build it for the car but he gave me a stock throw out and slave how much will those stock parts hold im a little concerned giving the car only has 80000 miles and this will be the third clutch in this car. Ps the person who owned it before me couldn't drive a m6 to save his life and he put a ceramic clutch in a stock car idk what the reasoning was behind it but whatever.
