logang1k Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I am gonna have one day between the time I finish up my mudwagon (1990 loyale) and the day of our mud bog. Is there any thing I can do to give my clutch a shot at making it through it? I have zero miles on a brand new exedy oem replacement clutch kit (pressure plate, pilot bearing, throw out bearing, clutch plate) that I put in along with a resurfaced flywheel. I swapped the clutch when I put in the D/R 5mt. But I am gonna have 1 day to try to break-in the clutch. I live in the country so I thought I would do 50 gear changes and let it cool for 20 minutes and repeat 10 times. It says 300-500 miles of stop and go driving. but I think 500 gear shifts would be ok because that is what the want, right?No one drives our roads here so no one will get behind me. I have 27" tractor tires so taking it on a long trip is out. They also have a low speed rating of 40 mph or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beataru Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 well, i know its a bit late, but Generally your supposed to take it easy on a new clutch, like everything else for about 1k, but i dont know that many people that do. Just dont go balls to the wall with it right out of the gate, drive it easy over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
