I read that a new clutch should be broken in for about 500 miles of stop and go normal driving.
My question is it bad to do long highway drives on a clutch that hasnt been broken in yet ?
Would highway driving cause more heat or damage new clutch that hasnt seen 500 miles yet.

BTW..Only has 12 miles on it as of now


Thank You Mfers

You should be fine with highway driving. Break in period means no dumping the clutch at 5 grand and no speed shifting. Take an easy day trip somewhere

 

What did you put in it repz?

 

I put in a King Cobra from UPR .
FRPP Billet Steel FW
New FRPP fork and stock pivot ball.
Replaced TB and Pilot bearing (did bread trick to remove pilot bearing) ***king worked
Replaced all hardware (FRPP FW bolts (8) and pressure plate bolts(6) and 3 pins)
New Tranny fluid Mobile 1 full syn atf .

Clutch and Pro 5.0 shifter is like butter now,So damn smooth
Seem to grab like a SOB too.
took about 2 days off and on but can be done in a day,very easy job in these cars if you have a lift to use and a tranny jack.

Couldnt be happier Moon,like a new PONY\Snake
Cant wait till its broken in so I can go to the track and get some numbers this year.
Hoping for a 13.6-13.8

 

Just keep in mind that 500 miles of break in time needs to be done around town so that you are having to constantly shift and go from a stop to help break in the clutch. If you do 500 miles of highway driving it doesn't help break in the clutch.

 

Very understandable Kerns
