I just got my JWT Street clutch installed (thanks Zlover) Wondering if there any break in procedure? My friend who installed it looked @ me and said what break in procedure. I've heard of Higher stage clutches and certain puck clutches have specific break in procedure but it there any rules I should follow for the Street Clutch? I imagine if I drive it for like a month before trying to take it to the track it should be fine but I just don"t want to mess any thing up. Clutch it super easy to push in Grabs nicely a lil close to the floor but I've read thats how it is.

being close to the floor isn't just "how it is". you can adjust that, and should.

 

500 miles normal driving stop and go city style. there is a break in procedure, punch your friend in the face

 

Pseudo-experts FTW! Eric said it best.

And to adjust the clutch pedal properly...

guess my lack of driving a car with an upgraded clutch is what threw me off. My friend who installed my clutch and my other friend both said my engagment was great. I just have to adjust from my standard DD clutch feel. Really not that bad now that I've driven on it for 2 days.

 

I've seen some clutch manufacterers say that there is no break in period for certain clutches, but i would still break it in. it's like a pair of shoes, if nike said "new shoes that don't have to be broken in!" would you put them on and run a marathon? I like to think that any z car part that is a "moving" part should be broken in and thast the general rule of thumb i follow.

 

I think my friend was kiddin but meant theres no special break in procedure. Like with some puck clutches I've heard you have to dump the clutch 7 times with 10 minutes inbetween. I think he assumed I wasn't taking the Z to the dragstrip that night lol.

 

be safe.

break it in.

 

I was always told 500 miles of standard driving without any hard launches
