Just got tranny rebuilt and new Spec Stage 3 Carbon disk installed, how long to break in clutch? I heard only 350-500 miles, is this right?

 

I'd say at the VERY least 300. Most clutch companies require 400 in order to be "under warranty".

I have my Spec Stage 2 about 350, then starting taking it to the higher RPM ranges...but not in every gear. After 400 miles, I started from a dead stop and hit 6K RPMs thru 3rd gear...she grabbed like MAD!

But, here's what I did, if you want some advice that is. When I first got it, I shifted at 2500...after 100 miles, went to 3000 RPMs, 200 and 300 miles, I didn't go higher than 3500 RPMs.

Basically slowly introduced the clutch to higher revs.

i always thought you just hammer it while new hehe guess I was wrong.

 

hmm same here

 

Give it 500 miles before you start launching off of it. Take it to redline if you want, thats not going to make a difference. The main thing is to let the material seat (500 miles) before you dump the clutch. Drive the **** out of it though. It'll be fine.

 

I heard that if you get the disc material made with ceramic you don't need to break it in. Is that right? Or what?
