Can't imagine why the clutch would trigger the CEL, but for breaking it in, just go easy on it. Try not to slip the clutch on starts and shifts. Once it's fully engaged, though, you should be able to run the car hard with no problem. I was told by a couple people to go easy on it for the first 500 miles. It's hard, but I'm doing it. I'm at about 325 miles right now.
