I brought an exedy used organic clutch kit and got done installing it just a few days ago. I was wondering is there a need to break it in?

If its used then it should be broken in already.

 

I retract my previous statement, unless your useing the same flywheel.

 

i would still wait for the clutch to break in no matter what just to be in the safe side.....

 

Play it safe and break it in. I must say, I got the best gas mileage I have ever gotten during clutch break-in (no doubt due to the super conservative driving style, and low-rpm shifts).

 

Iight awesome guy. Thanks for the fast reply.

 

what is the highest one can take gears in, when breking in the clutch?

 

I stayed bellow 3,500 rpm in my GS-R (which sucked on the freeway).

 

how long is brake in period? 1000 miles? or 300? or wut

usually about 500 or so but not all highway u need some stop and go traffic

 

yep from what i know and did was atlease let it break in 500miles and more...

 

if u want it to be really good get ur flywheel resurfaced then youll get a better grab . but even if u dont it should still grab fine . good luck (my buddy did 700 miles in one day when he did his he drve all over the damm place but it worked) just need some patince

thats crazy...funny stuff...

 

A friend of mine commuted from Turlock, CA to Red Bluff, CA 5 days a week for his work. According to yahoo maps that is 226.4 miles each direction, and about 3 1/2 hours each way. That is way too damn far to commute. He has a CB chassis Accord, with 680,000 miles on the car, and has only rebuilt the motor once. I believe he has changed the clutch about 4 times. He probably has the clutch broken in by the time he gets home from work. Although, a clutch does require shifting to break in, so if you choose to get your mileage on the freeway (like my friend) it is a good idea to downshift into fourth, and back into fifth gear every so often.
