    Cool How to break in your new clutch.

    As said in the video, several hundred city driving miles is best before letting it hang for the first time. If your clutch starts off smooth on your first drive, chances are better than not it will only start to vibrate / chatter if you don't follow the correct procedure. Be sure to pull away normal (easy for those that normally drive aggressive all the time) making sure to not slip the clutch anymore than absolutely necessary. Heat is a new clutches worst enemy.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting this info. This explains why my last clutch never really felt right. I glazed it like I was a Tim Horton's donut baker. Surprising that it can lose as much as 100lbs of torque when that happens. I'll be sure to take it easy for awhile this time around.

    Shitty part, once it's glazed or chattering, it is what it is.

    just apply a small amount of oil. that will stop the chattering.
    as far as the glaze goes,,,,use a 5" grinding disc and go nuts on the pads,,,no more glaze
