DOne a few searches, looked at the stickies, and couldnt find the recommended process for breaking in a new clutch. It's an 05 CTS-V( T56 tranny for those who dont know) with an LS6 factory clutch just replaced at the dealer under warranty with new pressure plate. How many miles is the recommended break in and what things shouldn't i do till its broken in. Thanks

25-50, nice and easy stop and go. Let cool down

50-100 same thing

100-200, more stop and go, but more aggressive

200-300, throw in some highway driving, along with the above.

300-500, more aggressive (but not "beating" on it yet) stop and go.

Basically, you want to avoid alot of highway driving, to avoid glazing, but with a stock clutch like yours, you will be OK. The above, is more for "performance" clutches. But, if you take that apporach, you will be fine as well.

thanks for the input, i figured the factory clutch wouldnt need a demanding break in lke say a level 6 monster clutch but figured taking it easy would be good enough.
