never have
just put them in and rape the ---- out of it.. as long as everything is new it wont matter.

flywheel is not new, just the clutch, i usually do 500 miles, that seems to be the general consensus.

Re:how long do you guys break in a clutch?
 

I do 100 miles...but I feel it begin to really grab after about 150-200 miles.
I just use 10W-40 the manual says you can use that to ;D

resurface the flywheel bamboo!

i used Honda MTF, didnt make my tranny feel any better then b4, nor any worse. Lots of people use GM Syncromesh FM, but who knows if its any good or not?

dammi put 20-50 weight on my tranny last night..only because the kragen across the street was closed and my neighbor had some in his garage and gave me some. it feels good though and it grabs alot better than stock. however the clutch seems a bit more stiff compared to stock but i dont GIVE A ----!

oh yeah i broke the sensor that goes on the side of the head next to the oil plug..i think its the water temp sensor. anyway i tried starting the car without it and i got a CEL, when i gave it gas it shut off....i thought that was odd, so i punked the plug off my hatch and fixed the prob....

ditto. That's how we do. Last clutch I got changed, I said I'll break it in for 300 miles. The day the clutch was in, I say it lasted about 3 miles. Beat on that ---- like there's no tomorrow. Hey looks like it's doin the job, over 2 years later, the clutch still grabs hard, chirping 2nd and 3rd on occasion. And it's a stock clutch. ;D And I put 10-30.

Julio, you funny mexican, you put 20-50 :D. I actaully put 20-50 in the engine of one of my crx's a ways back. Ran pretty good.
