Message So everyone always says that you need to break in a clutch for at least a few hundred miles. Everyone I know does it, but I've never actually known how important it really is. I was talking with a guy who owns a trucking company, and he laughed in my face when I mentioned breaking in the clutch on my car. He said they just put new clutches in the trucks and drive them as always w/ no problems... and that this is the same for any car as well.

Basically I'm looking for proof that not breaking in a clutch will have a negative effect on either its performance or lifespan.

Later,
Matt


how about you man up and kill the thing? Then cut it into little pieces and scatter them on the porch as a warning to the other gummy worms not to mess with you. - Spee 00:01:50 06/03/05
