Love the newly installed 4.10s but...

I can't totally tell a big difference cuz I had the SPEC stage 2 clutch installed @ the same time. But the Steeda Tri-Ax rocks. Can't wait till I'm done breaking-in the clutch.

What's exactly involved in breaking in a clutch ?

 

[downsouthman1]

Just normal driving. Like babying a car. You have to really baby it until it's broken-in, just like when you buy a new car.

enjoy the gears, make sure to get some times soon

 

[downsouthman1]

I will get times after my clutch is completely broken in, my C&L Intake Pluenum & 75mm Accufab TB is on, & I'm running 275s, or larger on the rear.

um, how long do you have to break in a clutch? ive never done that before on any of my manual cars.............and havent had problems, well, not to my knowlage anyway

 

[downsouthman1]

What kind of clutch are you running in your car, stock or aftermarket?

So you did a King Cobra clutch, didn't break it in, & didn't have any problems w/ it? If true, amazing in & of itself. I was told by quite a few people by reading threads on Mustangworld.com that if you don't break in a SPEC clutch properly you will have problems, ie: vibrating clutch &/or TB squeal just like w/ stock clutch/bearing.

I'm sure you'll notice the difference with the 4.10's after the break-in period with the clutch

 

[downsouthman1]

That's the plan anyway. I already get on it a little, after I'm in gear & it moves a lot better now.

Yeah, I broken my SPEC Stage 2 clutch the same way I broke in my mustang. 5500 rpm launches at the track on drag radials The break in thing is a load of bull IMO. My clutch is a year old now, and it is smooth as silk around town while sticking like glue at the track.

Slider I actually asked you the ? you answered @ another post. Thanks for answering here. I don't know if I can NOT break-in my clutch as I'm still running the stock flywheel re-surfaced. Also I'm still running my stock cable/quadrant. But all seems fine.
