As some of you know I just got a Pro Motion T5 that can handle 500HP. I had put my stock T5 on Craigslist. I left it in the car so the potential buyer could drive it and see that it was 100%. I sold it the other day for $400. WOOO HOO!! Even thogh I'm going to be pulling my engine in about 6 or 8 months for a complete stroker build, I decided to replace the rear main seal since it was leaking slightly. I also plan on installing my new Center Force cluch and MM quadrant. I figured I would do the Clutch now because of the 450-500 mile easy break in. I know once I get that new motor it will be hard to go easy, plus it should be broken in hard not easy.

I sell auto oarts and I never even heard of it until I got my Center Force clutch. I don't sell Hi-Performance stuff, just stock parts. I've been selling parts for 26 years and never heard of breaking in a clutch.
