1. To make sure you begin the wear process correctly.
2. Going easy on the car for approx. 500 miles. No dumping the clutch.
3. Correct. Part of the break-in procedure.

 

does that mean i have to rev match it when shifting up?

 

Revmatch when upshifting? You don't revmatch when you upshift, just wait for the RPMs to drop a little and let it out smooth, but that's just common sense driving. When you downshift, revmatch (you should be doing this even if you aren't braking a clutch in). Basically just be easy on the clutch and be smooth with it/don't dump the clutch or downshift too hard, etc. I got the same clutch too, and I just broke it in probably less than 1000 miles ago... I can chirp third now.

 

thnx man
