Clutch break in

07-08-2004, 08:34 AM

I get my car back from the shop in a couple of days. Anything I need to do to break in the clutch?

Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
Mark: "You never will."

Drive it to the mall with the pedal half pushed in.

j/k, just go easy on it for maybe 500 miles. Don't go drive like a maniac or do burnouts.

Hah, I'll be sure to slip it as much as I can.

Yup, it's usually a 500 mile break in on clutches.
