Clutch break-in period
 

So i just got my new clutch/flywheel combo in, right? Well i'm getting mixed reviews on if i should do the normal 500+ mile break-in period. I wanna just rip the bitch apart and call it broken in myself. Just wanna see what you crazy kids do to your new clutches.

Resurfaced stock lightened flywheel to 16lbs

I'm trying to do the 1/4th mile again this wednesday and run some 13's

meh, standard break in is about 500 miles, the paperwork i got from exedy was 700.

Its up to you, how soon do you want to replace that clutch?

Re:Clutch break-in period
 

the act unsprung clutch i installed just said to do some high speed slips and it would be broken in

just abuse the crap out of it. i installed mine while non boosted and as soon as i was finished i was burning rubber and it grips like a mudafuka w/246whp.

Re:Clutch break-in period
 

Break in period? Whats that? Lol just through some boost at it and call it a day.

Re:Clutch break-in period
 

id reccomend at least a period of say 150-250 miles before beating the living F out of it...

Re:Clutch break-in period
 

Yeah I decided to break in my clutch to the end of my drive way.

ive alwase heard to do allot of downshifting and shifting between the gears. not really romp it but drive it normal but do allot of shifting.

Re:Clutch break-in period
 

i've put about 150-175 of gear shifting miles on the clutch already...i think i'll take it to the track on wed. and drive it around as much as i can after work tomorrow...unless exedy emails me and tells me otherwise. What exactly does the "Break-in" period do to the disc anyways? I'm thinking its a heat treating process ya know. It rapidly heats and cools the disc making the material stronger. Thanks for the input guys
