Driving in new clutch??

[koevi]

Hi,

I just got a new clutch installed and im wondering is there a drive in period with a new clutch where you cant drive it hard? or can you drive it hard straight away?

Thanks

[THEEYA]

its recommend to drive it in, a few hundred km's

[DLO01]

Well what clutch? Organic?

[koevi]

yeah Exedy Sports Organic to be exact

[DLO01]

Just drive normal for 500-1000kms. No riding cluch, no quick starts off the lights. Just drive normal.

[koevi]

ah k, thanks heaps!

Burn the clutch for liek 2 mins. thats how you run it in.

[DLO01]

Did you get the flywheel machined?

[chauster]

If you are asking me DL then yeah i did

[DLO01]

No OP.

[koevi]

yeah flywheel machined

[TheSaint]

i would have put in an exedy flywheel as well instead of machining - but thats just me lol

[trism]

Why bother? Unless you make serious power or intend to be a track superstar, there's no need

[DLO01]

No way. A light flywheel is an excellent performance mod. This is one single mod that you 'can' actually feel the difference. Sure theres pros and cons as with anything, but it is a good mod if your looking that little bit more especially if your replacing your clutch you can do it at the same time.

you speaking from experience , sure hope i feel the diff , ordered a new flywheel yday

[trism]

A light flywheel on a daily street car is dumb.

[chauster]

I agreee that daily you aint gunna feel much. Best daily is a stock daily.

I got toda lightened flywheell on my warrior eg that was fkn good. but daily? ceeebs

Sports organic clutch with lighten flywheel - run in 1000km

with lighten flywheel my car revved alot quicker, made a load of difference. good for hillclimbs and places where car lacks power.

it made a difference and its worth the money.

If you can't change gears fast don't bother.

[DC2-PWR]

If you can't change gears fast don't bother.

i cant change gears fast and i didn't bother? :p

i still got the benefit from flywheel :)

lightened flywheels are sweet, i've driven a crx with and without a lightened flywheel, you can definitely notice the difference in response and how easy the engine revs up, as DL said, great performance mod without touching engine internals etc

[Bludger]

need to blip throttle when driving with lightened flywheel. Or else gear changes are rough from revolutions dropping too fast.

Good for aggressive driving when your mind is on the ball, fast gear changes, fast acceleration.

when you're tired and just want to drive slow, it really is a pain in the butt to have a light flywheel.
