Yep, as stated earlier, give it 500 miles of easy engagements, slow shifts, and don't go revving it to the moon. Breaking in a 6-puck clutch with 5K rpm drops is much more fun.

I never really broke in mine, and 10k miles later its fine. I woudn't worry about it. And it got beat on pretty good after the clutch job.

You DEFFINATLY need to break the clutch in for atleast 300 miles..

No dumping it..

No high rpm Shifting..

None of the good stuff..

You will be happy with the results of a proper breakin. Me and my dad did his clutch in his 93 corvette (I,H,E) when i was 10 and it still feels great (8 years and +100k now on it).
