Just replaced my clutch. How long is the break in period?
New Clutch
- Thread starter MiamieNeSeX
- Start date
When I had mine done last year my tech said give it 200 miles of city driving stop and go etc after that you can start jumping on it. But I do know of guys that had brand new clutches installed the night before a track event that had zero miles on it and pounded on it all weekend with no problems go figure.

I also thought it was about 200 miles of stop and go traffic, my tech said 500, I think Ill meet half way
Which clutch did you choose?
Which clutch did you choose? Aftermarket or oem?
My clutch is starting to go and I'm looking for a replacement. Dali & SoS both have a few options but I don't want to move forward quite yet: I'm very concerned at the prospect of a 'rebuilt' clutch - this doesn't sound, um, optimal to me. In addition, I love the feel and throw of my factory clutch and don't want to deal with extra pressure to work the pedal.

I think you have answered your own question...KNSX said:
The Centerforce Clutch at SoS is supposed to be just as light as stock, only much stronger. That is the direction I think I will go.
hmmmm
I hate when I do that

A heavy pedal is not the only downside of an aftermarket clutch. Many of them have a very narrow operating range (sweet spot), so that there is an "on or off" feel to them.NetViper said:
I suggest trying to drive someone else's NSX with whatever clutch you're considering, before you commit to getting one yourself.
I'm glad someone else asked this question first. I'm getting ready to get my car back with new clutch installed and was also wondering about the break in period. I will have little city driving followed by about 150-200 highway followed by a little more city driving to get home. Should I be alright upon arrival?
hm.... try someone else's clutch
Is there anyone in Jersey City,NJ (or area during the week) or Charlotte,NC (weekend) with an aftermarket clutch and a few spare minutes? I'll pick up a meal in compensation.

I have the Centerforce and it is not as smooth as the factory but very close. I don't know about being much stonger , maybe a little stronger I can still make it slip just as easy as the factory clutch. If I did it again I would probably go for the factory clutch from Nielo (sp?). It is about the same price and if done by a dealership you get a warranty.
Hey, KNSX I'm very close to Jersey City, NJ if you want to try out Comptech PGII.
I don't like my Comptech PGII this much when I'm in traffic especially in NYC, after hour in traffic it is a torture.
On highway it is awesome, when you have to down shift or just cruise. Slipping is not hard after getting used to it. It took me couple of months to feel the new pedal pressure. It all depends on your preference, and yes definitely it is better to try before spending some $
Comptech PGII changes the clutch dumper witch makes the pedal to engage quicker but clutch is not on and off. With centerforce you OEM dumper stays. I think they only change the pressure plate and disks are made of different compound.

I have this post in general message with no response so I'll try it here.
I did a search but could not find anything on this brand of clutch. It looks like a good option, any imput would be helpful.
