How exactly to you break in a clutch? Im taking a wild guess that some of the problems Im having taking off in first is due not properly breaking the clutch in. The clutch has about 400 miles on it but I havent been exactly easy on it since it was put in.

Is there anyway to remedy the situation at this point? I think this is why the car is starting to buck when you slip the clutch a little in first....its seems to be getting a little worse and is way more noticable than 400 miles ago...

Im not done for am I?

 

ive always done a minimum of 500 in town easy miles. no full throtle! id take it easy for a while and see if it gets better. good luck.

 

500 normal driving miles....well unless your like me and did the clutch and drove 500 miles in a day so i could play at the track that night

 

500 EASY NORMAL driving miles. You don't want to glaze a brand new clutch, or you're gonna be shopping again.

 

It did have ~300 or so easy miles as I was learning to drive with it...Ill go back to some easy driving than...

 

Thats a long time to go without being able to get on a car. Im gonna need a new clutch soon and I may just take a long trip some where and get it over with in one day like my man above did.

 

I don't know if it's just the material but with my SPEC stage 3 it said 400-500 stop and go miles....not highway. You won't break-in jack crap without releasing the clutch...when you're on the highway it's engaged all the time.

Good thinking man. I guess it would actually need USEAGE to be broken in. DUH!!!

 

Allthough the stop and go break in is tidious, its worth it, no one wants a glazed clutch.
