Clutch break ins are horseshit anyways.


Just go drive your car already.

just drive it easily for the first 250 miles, then drive it normally for the next 250 miles... after that it should be good to go

Does anyone ever drive a new car easy when they buy one. I'm willing to bet - not many. It probably would make some sort of a difference in longevity, but most of us here are modded and the life of the clutch is going to be less anyhow.
