Note to self, don't buy anything spec related or their garbage products unless you want to get screwed without so much as a courtesy spit. Charging people to fix a giant mess up on your end is just hilarious. But such is the life of another bottom of the barrel aftermarket company.
parts sold through Spec, and twostep are two different parts. Note.

Wanted to update you guys that the Willwood master cylinder upgrade totally fixed the lock out issue! I didn't even have the dampener taken out. The pedal is probably 50% stiffer, but NO more lockout. I'm so happy

Awesome! Does it raise the friction point on the pedal travel?

Yes, it’s higher
Fantastic! I'll be getting on Spec's case to get a kit ordered. $125 doesn't seem like a bad price for a fix. This is great news

Definitely worth it! Shifts fly into gear now with the higher flow cylinder

I only have about 300 mi on my stage 2+ but i'm glad I'm not crazy. For the life of me I couldn't get into gear on occasion and I was blaming the stock shifter being vague lol.

When you say 50% stiffer, do you mean 50% stiffer than stock or 50% stiffer than the spec before the new cylinder?

I foresee the pedal assembly or slave failing prematurely now. I’ve seen this happen with 8th and 9th gens before lol I don’t expect this fix to last

I installed the cmc from spec yesterday and like you said it felt great, I woke up with all my dash lights on this morning. Did you get anything similar?

Unrelated. Unless you have an actual check engine light on I'm sure they will clear out soon. Not unusual after having the battery unplugged, assuming you did.

I got those yesterday and those cleared away yesterday. This sounds like it maybe has to do with something else then.
