Clutch Break In

Scrapla · 06-12-2004, 10:05 PM

Im getting a new clutch installed when I have my new engine dropped in and the work is being done about 2hours away, my motors already there and ready just waiting on a few parts, The cllutch is a SPEC II and the motor is a 347 I know your suppose break in the new clutches with some stop and go driving for about a few hundred miles but not drive the highway or a sustained RPM for to long on a new clutch to avoid glazing, what do you guys think is there way I can get around this or should I start looking for trailer, please help.

City driving is the best. You won't glaze it highway driving, but at the same time you won't be doing it any favors with bedding the material. Do as SPEC says and your clutch will live a long, happy life...as mine is.
