After a clutch install ...

I'll be getting a new clutch (OEM) installed next week. What should I do afterwards for proper break in (if any)? Is there something I should keep an eye on? - i.e. loose bolts that need tightening after awhile of driving, lubrication anywhere, etc. Thanks

You should always allow a break-in period of about 250 miles to be on the safe side and left the friction points seat correctly.

Don't go driving like you're in the Le Mans is what I mean... just take it a little easy.

Also, while you're in there you should be thinking RMS seal upgrade, Intermediate Shaft seal upgrade, and a light weight flywheel. Huge improvement with the Aasco!

Cheers

Doesn't the motor get more twitchy with a lightweight flywheel? ie, stalls easier?

Nope... more gear noise is about it, but I like it. The performance gains are even more well worth it.

If you can drive a standard, you're fine.
