correction for all.

To properly break in the clutch keep rpms under 3k. Follow this pattern for 500 gear changing miles before proceeding to any aggressive type of driving.

With the spec II you can tell when its breaking in more and more (less chatty), I'd say give it about 1000 miles and that should equate to about 500 gear changing miles and your good to go.

Keep the slipping to a minimum and try to keep the load easy for awhile (no WOT).
