Is there a break-in period that I need to go through before I start getting on my car after a new clutch was installed? Don't want to mess anything up here...

Re: Break-in time for clutch?
The mechanic also told me to drive regular for about 500 miles , stop and go trafffic to break it in. Don't know the reason behind it though. I think if you didn't break it in it would put uneven groves or heat marks on the clutch discs. Don't know for sure , just guessing.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

It will not seat properly and causing scaring of the clutch disc and flywheel resulting in loss of griping power and premature wear.Originally posted by MeatyshellsComment

Re: Break-in time for clutch?
drive, calmly for 500 miles... and remember the key is heat cycles, not the mileage...
meaning, don't go make a 500 mile trip. drive it, let it sit and cool, drive it, etc... so if you do lots of longer drives, extend the break in period a little.
Also don't be rough on it during this period.Comment
