Clutch break in
i just got a new clutch. It's a Stage 1 and I got new bearings and seals also. I've heard that you need to break these in for 500 miles but my teacher told me that a few days is fine. I'm studying Automotive Technology.
So what's the BEST way to break these in before any hard driving?

Just drive normal for at least 200 miles.
If you did not resurface the flywheel it takes longer.
You can go WOT any time after the clutch is fully engaged.
The main thing is not to "buzz" (high power slip & burn) the clutch on launches & gear changes.
That's easy to do if the clutch is not seated in.
