would "light" freeway driving be OK in breaking it in (driving granny 65mph)?
planning to swap out the clutch... but it's my only daily driver and my work is a good 15 miles away on the freeway.

I had an exedy organic on my ef (b16a) I only put about 300 miles on it before really getting on it. No problems here after 6000 miles. Oh yea I also drove on the highway 75 mph + during that break in, not counting the highway miles.
