Default Goodbye Slippage

Spec S3 clutch came in yesterday, installing saturday in the driveway ...but I am hoping to get access to a hoist instead. Either way I am stoked . The clutch has been slipping BAD this year, and I couldn't take it anymore. Just wasn't even fun driving the car lightly. If I read right, I DO need to shim it?

What does breaking-in the clutch entail? It recommends a breakin process of 500 miles. Can someone elaborate on this and explain what I need to avoid doing? Thanks

500 Miles of normal stop and go. No WOT until you have 500 miles is what SPEC told me . I Have 3+ in my car live about 45 mins away for SPEC
