I know I've seen it on here before, but I can't find it now...
I just replaced my clutch, and was wondering how long I should wait until I can "romp" on it. I am thinking like around 500 miles of city driving? Is this right?
Originally posted by Advanced Clutch Technology For organic street discs “00 and SS” we recommend breaking in the clutch for 200-300 miles with mild engagement such as stop and go city driving prior to racing or spirited driving. ACT race discs usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break in period.

I can tell you one thing, its gonna be hard, i really have to stop shifting at 5500. hondas dont have nice low end torque, therefor your gonna hate ur car for 300-500 miles.
I put in a clutchmasters in my civic, didnt care about breaking it in, started getting on it within first 50 miles. Been a couple mths and like 1600 iles later and still pounding it.
I'm thinking of starting to romp on it, its been 250-300 miles. I just cant take it anymore, a foxbody mustang (prolly a V6) pulled up next to me...you know the deal, i took it easy shiftin at 4k.
