How many miles for clutch break in?
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.
