2 little questions! :D (clutch questions)
My first question is on take off, is it ok to start take off by not giving it gas and using the clutch? i hear it "frys" the clutch but i noticed a few do it where they will release the clutch so it catches and starts to move a bit then give it gas is that ok? or is that a bad habit?
2ed.. my car was making a little rattle noise at turn off took it in they said it was the tranny so they bought me a brand new one as well as a clutch since it kinda burnt out my clutch?... now im picking it up tomarrow morning with a brand new clutch and tranny what is the propper way to break it in? ive heard different storys where u dont need to break it in, 300 miles, 500 miles, dont go over 4k rpms, do all stop and go, stay away from free way driving, so im totaly confused...
i did a search here on the gforums and didnt find anything on either of the questions so here i am posting. Please help! Thanks
P.S. is this the right section? or is there a different section to post this for the g's.

I've always done the above with letting out the clutch pedal slightly to get the car moving and then giving it little gas until my foot is completely off the clutch and then give it my desired gas. But then again, my current Bimmer and last couple have pretty strong clutches and trannys so maybe the G doesn't favor this method?

i talked to the guy at infiniti who installed the clutch and tranny i asked him the "proper" way to break it in, he said "i gave it a test drive its fine it should be broken in already after a cupple miles" then he mentioned "its not a race car so dont drive it like one and you will be fine" umm but everyone says 500miles no reving over 4k! /confused.

Hey bro just broke in my new clutch and it feels nice now... 500 miles and dont go over 4500 rpms... tranny 500 miles... if they replaced the flywheel aswell becarefull not to over rev when letting the clutch out you dont want to ruin the surface when breaking it in... but for anything drivetrain 500 miles and you can continue to beat on it.

sounds good. thats what ill do, they did replace the flywheel with it. but its making a noise when its in Nuteral and it wont go in 5th smoothly... 5th is now far right, up and a half inch left for it to engage...time to take it back 3days after i got it back lol.

its funny because my car is making a rattling noise at turn off aswell...
I took it to infiniti and they told me it was normal.
He said it was just the clutch plate moving around lol i don't think thats normal! it doesnt do it if i leave the clutch in while I turn it off only when i turn it off in neutral without the clutch, wut do yall think I should do??
