Fibertuff 9 puck and Fidanza combo

[ghostrider]

I just got my new clutch installed on my 91 SHO. It is the Fibertuff 9 puck with heavy duty pressure plate, ceramic TOB, and fidanza 9lb flywheel. All I have to say is WOW!!!! I love it. It is a bit tricky getting going at first with the light weight flywheel. After only a couple hours of driving it, and I'm almost fluid with it. The pedal is super duper light. Very easy to push down. So far, I have not noticed any chattering. I'm going to give it a good 800-1000 miles to break in. Its going to be torture not winding it out. Time will tell how long it lasts.

Finally after a long 900 miles I have gotten through the break in period. Wow. This clutch is really grippy, and the flywheel. Wow. Got on it for the first time today, revs like a super bike. I like it.

You can get on it all you want during the break in period, you just have to watch it when you shift.

really?, i have the centerforce clutch and fidanza flywheel waiting to be installed, i dont have to go through the 500-1000 mile break in period??

you dont have to go through the break in period?????, thatd be sweet, im getting mine installed soon and i dont know if i could go that long without getting on it

Be careful......that is not true. All new clutch kits, with the exception of the stock Valeo kit, should have a break in period. You need to watch how high your RPMs are when shifting as well as just generally taking it easy on it during the first 500-800 miles. That is if you want to break the clutch in properly and have it last you more than a year.

If your installing a Fidanza you should even give the clutch more time to be broken in than recommended. The surface finish on that flywheel not so great for bedding a clutch.

ok, thanks, ya i paid 500 for the clutch, it better last more than a year, when i see some posts that say that people dont have to go through the break-in period it kinda makes me wonder so i need to make sure, ill make sure to go more than 500 miles before i get on it, thanks again
