I learned that the hard way. Went thru 2 additional clutch discs before learning to break in the clutch.

too late man. Once you drive it hard once, just forget about it. The "point of breaking it in" is to insure the life and quality of your clutch disc , making sure it gets worn in even. Don't even worry about breaking it in anymore since you already got on it and churped 4th.

this is why people are always b!tching about how the ACT clutch sucks, well half the time the install was done wrong and the other is that they didn’t break it in long enough. I waited over 1000 miles before i ripped it and that’s only once in a while.
