Clutch break in?

Well dropper her off at the dealer yesterday to get a throw out bearing warranteed and decided it would be a good time to do an ACT Extreme street/strip with the StreetLite flywheel.

What's the best way to break in a clutch and will I have more fun with the flywheel on there?

Please please please please please.... My pedal is clicking like there's no tomorrow (and indeed, there may not be)

To the OP's question, just take it easy for the first couple hundred miles and you'll be set.

^= Agreed. Would have been better off with the SS clutch and the prolite flywheel (been lovin that combo for the past 10k miles). The "extreme" pressure plate will be pain in traffic...

my clutch bracket has been kinda *clicky* for a while ... but I keep checking the side for broken welds ... nothing

its hard to get those lazy Dealership people to replace it just because its *squeaking like a *****, damn it. a new one cost 200 something.

Any info about your Bracket? I would rather pay you 300 for a better bracket, than getting the "Will Break Again" Mazda bracket.
