Brass Button, wearing in/driving

Hi guys, i tried searching but all i came up with was topics about peoples clutches wearing out. :S So i'm getting a new clutch next week, how exactly should i wear it in? Also, how should a brass button be driven? Never driven one myself, a mate with an EK civic had one when he bought it, he removed it cause it was too **** he said. Although he was a **** driver, cars written off now.

Thanks guys.

You mean a cintered metal disc? Most just require a few clutch drops, start at 4k stop let it cool for a minute, drop it at 5k et cetera. Some might disagree with this approach however it's what ACT prescribes for their cintered metal discs.
