breaking in the clutch

[daddys]

if i remember correctly,,when putting a new clutch you are only supposed to let the rpm's go to 3000 for the first 1000 miles,,,am i right?

[spy54]

yeah sounds correct you dont want to overrev it just pretned you're your grandma lol

[slammedcivicsi]

you only have to do it for 500 KMS I just put my centerforce dual friction in and instide the box there was a little warning saying for the first 500 KMS only

what happens if you dont give your clutch very long to break in?>

You will risk wearing it all at once...like I did...wore the clutch in 2 months...

Heh, I hear that, I had to learn stick on my moms Toyota Tercel Wagon... in a Costco parking lot... Why let her drive something that expensive when shes just going to fuck it up?

it's called "glazing" the clutch...

ask habib about that :right:

Yea, to refer back to what Ami said about my clutch. Back in my DX days i sorta glazed the stock unit tryin to do a 90 hp burnout lol. So i had the flywheel resurfaced and bought a little RAM powergrip clutch outta summit. More of a semi drag clutch really, real bitch in traffic. But you could powershift the hell outta it goin in a line however there was no break in waring and i was told i wouldn't have to worry bout it. Well i sorta gave it like 200-300 miles before i went back autocrossing with it...it would slip in a tight turn under full throttle, really sucked ass. Later i found out the clutch glazed the flywheel from what i was told. SO...be nice to your new clutch hehe.

If I remember correctly on my centreforce dual friction clutch was 900-1000 kms.....

[bc4g]

with a new clutch i heard a new fly wheel isnt always the way to go. What is the model no. on the 91 si tranny?

Thanks

I raced another hb yesturday and clutch seems "softer" now it kinda lost some of that snappy feeling
