Picking up car today....and i was wondering what the break in procedures are for a new clutch and flywheel.....i always thought 500 miles of "gentle love" was a good rule of thumb but i didnt know if anyone else had some good advice.

 

500 miles without going over 4000 rpm and your good.

 

uhhg mine's probably screwed then. I guess mine was broken in with the dozens of dyno runs haha.

 

Guys, Clutch break-in is intended to seat the clutch materials and wear it in evenly. Remember, due to the affects of simple physics the outer edge will wear in at a fast rate than the inner edge (as it is farther away from the centerline of the assembly and thus must spin faster). There isn't really an RPM limit for break-in. In truth the point is that you shift as much as possible to allow the materials to bed in properly. The more you shift the better! I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

 

FWIW - Hwy miles is not the best way to break in a new clutch. As stated, the more you shift the better. 600 City miles FTW

 

Finally broke my 600 miles Saturday on the way back from meet....ACT FTMFW
