OEM clutch break-in

[MrClean]

Just had my clutch and flywheel replaced under warranty @ 30k mi (it was "dragging" and made it hard to pull out of 1st & reverse).
What break-in period if any should I give it before driving it like the car is meant to be driven

BTW, I have pulleys, ported stock blower, AEM intake and tune: 566 rwhp. Strictly Perf in Pearland did the upgrades.

Hi! Nice to be back. Been a while! Thanks for welcoming me back

I've replaced a couple clutches. Most manufacturers recommend anywhere from 500-1000 miles of easy driving. I think I made it about 150 myself.

That's what I found elsewhere doing general interweb searches. I have about 80 on it now. I think it has to do with heat cycles so the material cures properly and lasts longer.
Thanks!

500 is commonly accepted practice.

Thanks!

You want as much stop and go as possible. I try for 300 miles before really getting on it. It's worked well so far.

20 yr old still at home? Need a 32 yr old son? Dad?


I gave all of mine about 5min. The amount of time it takes to get to an open road.

Brought to you by tapatalk; 70k fuck yeah.

Hahahaha, no thanks! The 20 yr old is getting the boot soon...

" Spec " recommends 500 miles.
