Wearing in clutch

Postby tomo1985 » Mon Jun 26, 2006 11:11 pm

I am replacing my clutch tomorrow and have never done this before. I have one question should I drive easy for say 500kays to let it break in or is there no need?


You opinions please

Get the fly wheel surfaced at the same time, drive it normally.

just dont drop or ride the clutch heavily for the first 100kms or so

especially if your clutch uses a non organic compound, as glazing on those is permanent :wink:
