What is an acceptable way to brake in my new clutch. Search is restricted cause of small words. Just need a quick answer, car will be running this evening. Thanks in advance

 

drive it at LOW rpm for 500 miles... no vetc, and go easy on it.

i have heard other ways tho

 

i never broken in any of my clutches. I guess you can break it in with lower rpms

you should!

 

I just installed my action 2 MS clutch. I drove in lower RPMS &lt;4K for 100 miles then would do the same but put more throttle in it. at 250 miles I went ahead and gav it a test run slamming into 2nd....grabbed very hard! i drove a little more vigourously to 400 miles but never full throttling and then after 400 CITY miles I let her loose. I am at 700 miles now with 0 problems. Make sure you are putting City miles on it meaning engaging and disengaging the clutch constantly i think that is the important part.

Can anyone shine in on the Reason why we have to break in a clutch?? Is it to surface the plates completely before really getting on it?

 

On the puck clutches its not always necessary to break in the clutch. But with Organic or Kevlar disc, its important to break in the clutch, or else you risk the chance of glazing the disc and the clutch will never hold like its supposed to.

 

Thanks to everyone
