got the jwt clutch and flywheel combo in and I cannot find a thread on here that gives a definite answer... 300miles city driving? 500 miles city driving? stay under 3000rpm?

Please thanks

 

i don't know if they have some crazy secret way of doing this but traditionally you just take it easy for about 500 miles..

Me personally, i have probably changed 20 + clutches on my personal vehicles over that past 10 years. I have NEVER once followed the accepted break in procedure. I start it, cheek for leaks, then leave black marks on the road.
I have done all sorts of clutch from OEM, to crazy looking 3 puc clutches. Heat kills them.
You don't want to over heat clutch, ever. I.E. excessive feathering. It can glaze, similarly to a fan belt. If it glazes it wont grab as good.

 

I drove fairly easy on mine (no hard launches) for a few hundred miles but after just a trip around the block I poked the throttle in a corner to see if it was slipping or not.

Judging by how sideways I got I'm guessing it was holding pretty good.

 

im almost to the 500 mark...taken it easy and doing mostly city driving...then I will give a full review

 

I have never followed clutch break in procedure either, just so long as you're not tracking it from the get-go... you'll be fine.

You'll feel when the clutch is broken in most likely. Also, I'm on my 2nd JWT clutch /flywheel friction plate now, and the last one gave me a solid 75k miles, and I abused it pretty good. Just drove it hard from day 1.

 

Usually its no jack rabbit starts, no slipping the clutch, and no high RPM shifts for first 500...

 

Just drive, it's that easy
