when i had done the cluch and flywheel in my car i was told my ACT that i should break it in easy for the first 500 miles no hard shifts just taking it easy no beating on it and also when u come to a stop light that you shouldnt hold the clutch pedal down. just keep the car in netural at the light then put it in gear and go but dont hold it down. this is what i was told by act . Considering i dont know what kind of clutch u have but u should break it in easy for 500 miles just to be sure h

your abs light is on because something isn't hooked up right. your abs wont work in this case. it could be the sensor near the rotor or check to make sure you hooked the cable back up to the battery. i forgot to put that back on after my clutch install.

break in is 500 miles. this means dont drive it hard. take it easy, no matter how hard it is not to go fast. you can accelerate in gear fast but any fast shifting, or dropping the clutch will **** up you brand new clutch.

I'm usually very easy with the car for the first hundred miles, and then for the next couple of hundred miles I drive normal. After that I give it some hell just to make sure that everything is working as it should.

Depends on the type of clutch. Go by manufacturers instructions on break in time.
