I just picked up a new spec stage 3 clutch which should be here next week. I was wonderinf if anybody who owns similar clutches has any advice for breaking it in. This will be my first "pucked" clutch and I just want to make sure it hangs around for a little while.

 

i have that clutch in my supra... its really the same thing for any performance clutch...and people will argue over the miles but i say better safe then sorry...

no harsh shifting for the first 500 miles...drive nice and easy and try not to shift past 4kish the first 400 miles...in the last 100 miles start shifting higher here and there.....

whenever you are driving on the highway engage and disengage the clutch every now and then.....

thats really about it....dont do anything stupid, and city driving is a GOOD thing with a new clutch

 

blah

drive the car 20 miles and the clutch has been broken in.

 

i have come up with step by step intructions
1)install
2)check waranty info
3)dog the piss out of it

 

i agree

 

LOL. Thanks for the advice guys. I took the car out for a little thanksgiving thrashing and hit it hard in first and second. The old ACT street clutch grabbed as hard as it ever has. I might put the new spec in the closet and hang on to it until summer. Not sure yet...anyway, I'll give it a few hundred miles and see what happens. I think I'm most looking forward to the sprung hub. My left leg is twice the size of my right after the ACT.
