I am getting my car back tomorrow fresh with a new ls7 clutch kit, also new slave, throwout bearing, roller pilot, and the drill mod, i was wondering some friends want to go to the drag strip this weekend, and id like to take mine to see if changing these hydraulic components will solve th eproblems i was having with clutch pedal sticking and 2-3 shifting issues, whats a good mileage for break in period? ive heard 300-500 miles?

There was just a thread on this. A lot of people don't believe in the break-in period, I would put atleast 500 easy miles on it.

i was easy on mine for 500 or so miles. i just went to the track the other weekend dumping it at 5500 on slicks got a 1.77 60ft, not the best 60 but i think it can do better

I went about 300 or miles on mine then started being a little more agressive with it. I still drive it like a grandma 99% of the time but I have taken her up on the freeways after the 300 mile mark.

I wouldnt bother with a long break in on that clutch, id drive it around town for an hour or so doing a bunch of shifting then id go beat on it.

Mine engages really close to the bottom, we've now bled it a second time to be sure. Is this a characteristic of the LS7? I guess as it "breaks in" it might engage a little higher up? It does seem easier to get into 1st and reverse now that we re-bled it. I think the only chance you take by not properly doing some break in is glazing the flywheel/clutch just like with new brakes. I've driven about 75 miles like a grandma.

It took about 300mi. for the pedal to start coming up some on my LS7. Right around 500mi. it started feeling more like stock.
When i first put it in, it engaged right off the floor, and i practiacally had to stand on the pedal just to get it in gear. I got about 750mi. on it now and its great! No problems whatsoever.

Well, just got done rebleeding it and it goes into gear stupid easy again! Looking forward to running it in kill mode!

ya, ive got about 100 miles on mine, it def. feels better than when i picked it up, shifting def. feels better over stock, im doing my cam install in the next week or so, gonna have to drive the shift out of my car before that cam install as i have a feeling its going to be tough not to go at WOT with the new cam
