Default XTSS Break In

Hey, so i got my XTSS clutch installed today and im wondering what kind of break in should i do with this clutch. Like how many kms or how should i drive before i should start driving hard with it? Also i noticed that the pedal feel is A LOT stiffer then stock. Will the pedal get a bit softer after i break in the clutch better? Let me know. thanks.

The clutch wont get softer, but your leg will get stronger. Ive had the clutch before, its a great clutch, really stiff though. The basic wear in is go easy on it for 500 miles. Then have all the fun you want.

dang....what made you wanna get the extreme pressure plate on a sohc? lol it probably won't get softer, but you should let it break in like stated above.

yup 500 of stop and go miles would be your best bet to properly break it in. try not to boost on it until then.

500 miles of high way lol jk.... the more stop and go you get the better it is. Its hard to get 500 miles without getting on it but you have to.

Yea, its really hard not to take it into boost since i had my car turboed for 2 days then the clutch started slipping during WOT at 5000 rpms, so its been 2 months since ive seen real boost. Ive taken it up to like 5500 twice since the clutch went in, so i guess ill keep it under 3000 until i put a good 500 kms on it.
