So I'm looking at having a stage 4 CM clutch and fly installed within 2 weeks.

How many break-in miles should I put in before beating it up on the track?
I'll probably have 350mi on it before March 27th. Enough?

usually recommended to put 500 miles on it.

The 350mi would be 13 short commutes. The funny thing about clutch break-in miles is that 2 250mi commutes would do less breaking in than many short commutes. Maybe I'll shift twice as much as usual, that ought to speed up the break in.

just randomly shift every 30 seconds. haha. cruising along at 70 on the freeway just back and forth between 5th and 6th.

Fixed. Haha

But srsly though, not a bad plan. 5th and 6th for the first 100, 4th and 5th for the 2nd. Then racecar for the last 150.

please take a video of it. hahaha. it would be hilarious.

Now that I have the 6-puck ceramic button clutch plate in, I'm trying to find a definitive answer about break-in.

I've looked around and have read that break-in is more critical for full face organic discs, because you don't want to get them too hot until they are broken in.

I keep reading that break-in is not necessary with the ceramic pucks, and if anything you want to get them nice and hot to help them seat.

Thoughts?

None....

 

[Eric Smit]

ceramic needs no break in.

I sure hope not. I've got only 30 miles of stop and go and keeping it under 3k during shifts is lame.

I think I'll give it another day of caress before I start beating on it, after all I'm still extremely paranoid everytime that I push the clutch that I'm gonna feel theslave cylinder say: "I quit".

After what I went through, you would too.

 

[Eric Smit]

enjoy your next day of boredom. hahaha

I say be glad you get to drive your Sonic. I just stare at mine and imagine driving, like a little kid.

I'm suddenly obsessed with the idea of a performance slave TOB.
Something like this:

What does racecar slave do?

Adjustable? 10HP? Better feel?
