How long does it take to glaze a new clutch/fly?
Just had my tranny swapped by Nissan (under warranty) and had a clutchmasters 6puck installed with the lightweight fly yesterday. I put about 30 miles on it yesterday with some daily driving and another 30 today going into work. On the way home tonight I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the expressway for over an hour. The feel of the clutch/fly/tranny is completely different and haven't come close to "getting the feel" so was pretty brutal on it inching forward (although I only stalled once - I felt like such a noob). So the question is how much abuse will a new clutch/fly take before it glazes up as I'm still in the breakin period?
Thanks,
friz

500 miles of stop and go (highway does not count), local driving, no launches, no wide open throttle is proper break in
and you are breaking the clutch in so it DOESN'T get glazed BTW - glazed is not good

nope you're good - in heavy traffic its totally possible to have the clutch get very light and awkward - stainless clutch line helps that alot, as does a bleed to non OE fluid (Motul, ATE, etc)
