If your asking on how to break in the clutch, just take it easy for 500 miles. No WOT runs and No launching. Iam also breaking in my clutch got 150 miles to go.

500 if your driving around town! 800 if you are on the hwy for most of the break in. Wouldn't break it in too well if he drives 500 hwy miles home from the shop that installed it. You need alot of shifts and stay out of the boost. It was hard to do, but the clutch should last a long, long time if broke in right.


Clutch pedal feels the exact same to me.

And this thread has no point at all!

One the clutch is engauged you can get into boost, just don't be rippin through the gears and slipping the clutch and it'll be ok.

Sorry if this is a hijack but it didnt look like you were asking questions just stating that you needed to break in another clutch disc. I'm curious, how many miles did you have on your previous Exedy HD? How much abuse? I'm wondering if this would be a good clutch for me to run when my stock clutch goes. Car is mostly a daily driver, might go to the road track and the drag strip twice a year. Driven hard daily but not launched. I want an aftermarket clutch good for 400hp that will last longer than the stock clutch.

what i meant to ask is, how do you break in a exedy HD?

so, i pushed that car a little, seems ok too me boost 23 psi, taking off very slow but when in gear, i push it a little? got the car up to 120 or so..... i have about 100 miles on it right now, so i should take it easy from now on?
