breaking in a clutch is real easy just drop the clutch at around 8'000 rpm on slicks and your broken in.

with organic discs, I usually tell people to wait until you have roughly 500 miles on it before you do full out clutch drops at the track.

i have an action 6-puck. i just drove around the block, went thru gears 1-5, make sure everything was okay. then i got on it, so for me, not even a mile. i have now about 3ooo miles on the clutch or so and everythings just fine.

if its a puck style clutch, put it on and drive around the block a few times and on the 3rd lap.. PUNCH IT.. there is no break in for those things.. your wasting valued time.. GO DO IT...
