  • clutch break-in

    Is there a proper way to break in a new sbc/dxd stage 1 clutch?

    Mine came with no information.
    My beloved Z:1987 2+2 NA2T w/30a swap.
    My black sheep: 88ss parts car (pretty much stripped and gone)
    207k miles and counting. Turbo'd since 155k.

    I don't know about that specific clutch, but with my ACT it was 500 miles of nice and easy city driving.

      Terrible idea putting those wheels on...

        500 miles no boost, little slipping is what I did for my ACT.

        I think it came in the literature too..
        It may not be a Z, but it's still got a turbo...

          oh good. I'll be very nice to it then. I was a bit worried when it slipped passing a truck on the way home. I haven't been hard on it, but knowing this i'll certainly be easy on it. School starts tomorrow so I won't be doing anything but to/from school anyhow for the next month or two. No real chance to be hard on it even if i tried.

            I didnt break in my clutch correctly 2 years ago and ive been having to live with a slipping clutch for 2 years now, be VERY careful...

            Also... Before it started slipping... when I first got it installed, it never ever slipped not even one bit, but 2 months later it was fried.

              Funny, I dont think I ever bothered fucking with breaking a clutch in. I usually run a full ductile iron disk but... meh whatever, Never had any problem with my Clutch specialties clutches slipping.

              I know you are supposed to but, I didnt and it works great.

              Dont follow my example though :shock: . Do what the manufacturer suggests. :wink:
