How many miles and what other steps am I supposed to take?

Also, the clutch doesn't grab as well, the car revs a little before the clutch grabs. Is that normal? Will that get better?

 

what type of clutch was installed?

My OE clutch never sliped form the day it was installed, but I have heard others say a new clutch will slip at first.
I took it really easy on the engagements, never down shifted aggressively, and keeped the car below 4k rpm's for about 400 miles. Then for the next 400 miles I just drove normal making sure not to pop the clutch or down shift more than one gear. I would take the car up to 5K rpms or so.
Not after 1k miles did I do anything aggressive with the tranny. At 1300 miles I took the car to the track and had at it.

 

It was some nameless brand that I got off of eclutchmaster on ebay. It was for $112, got it installed at pep boys for $260.

 

maybe thats why the clutch doesnt instantly grab, because its some nameless brand...no good. You should of AT LEAST went with OEM, never anything less...

Personally, i went with Exedy Stage 1 Organic (at about 285 bucks), cheap in my eyes, plus i need the extra clamping force...

Dont plan on throwing any extra power on that clutch either, it may not last (i.e. n2o, S/C, Turbo)....

Just keep your eye on it, if it still doesnt grab right after say, 400-500 miles, you may have a problem. Does Pep Boys warranty their work?
