Default Monster clutch break in

What's the recommended break in for them? I just installed it and planned on taking a ride with the car tonight to put close to 100 miles on the clutch. Is the break in just take it easy for the first 500 miles or are there cool down periods also?

what stage? its the amount of cool downs for a Sintered Iron disk. Steve told me the break in on the ceramic ones are for clutch chatter.

But you can call him to confirm.

It's a stage 3. I took it for a quick drive and there was very little chatter. I plan on taking it for a drive tonight so calling steve isn't an option. lol

Mine was in the packing slip taped to the outside of the box i believe...i don't remember them being inside w/ the clutch.
But like i said Steve is pretty set on 500 miles w/ a good amount of heat cycles, and DO NOT count highway miles as the break in miles.

That is correct, should be in with the packing slip. To get the most out of the clutch, what you just said are teh correct procedures.

It should have been in the packing slip, however, if you shoot me your email address I'll get you the break in instructions.

Steve I still haven't gotten an email from you...I've got about 200 miles on the clutch right now driving it lightly. I got on it a few times to make sure everything is good.

Email sent, I apologize about the delay. If there is an issue with your clutch due to us not getting you the break in procedure in a timely fashion I'll warranty it without question, I apologize.
