ok, jsut got my rebuild in along with my new clutch. I got the xtd stage 3, 6 puck clutch. Now when i got the clutch it didn't have any instructions on how to break it in and i know that clutch's should/need to be broken in. How do i go about doing this. i hope it's not too late i've already put like 250 miles on the engine and clutch. any help would be great. . thanks

Just do normal driving without any heavy conditions (high revving and dropping it) for about a thousand miles.

 

sounds good, can't do any high revving anyhow casue of the new engine. works out good i guess
thanks

 

Yah you'll basically break in the clutch perfectly fine while breaking in the engine. Since it'll see low revs for the first ~1500 miles and then a gradual increase from then till 2k miles it should be just fine for the clutch.

 

I think that the 1000 miles is a little much, I was told by ACT that they recommend 300 miles. Same rules still apply but just not as many miles. I did 500 miles on my car just for added insurance. Just my 2 cents.

 

300 miles for all their clutches? Maybe its different for the different kinds of clutches. I dunno, I just remember hearing 1k miles, and its not like thats asking way too much, at least with the amount that i drive.

 

Point is, by the time the engine is broken in, the clutch will be broken in as well.

how much harder is the oem clutch to the stage 3 because i have one of xtds also and i wanted to know how hard it was to hit the clutch.........

 

i had my stage 3 put in and the mechcanic said that that pressure plate is messed up because it shakes when i left off the clutch is this normal or the mech making **** up
