What is needed to ensure a proper break-in during the 500 mile period? Shifting before 3K? easy between shifts? what else? thank

clutch

the break in is to ensure even wear on the clutch disk. a lot of in town driving, stop and go. starting and stopping easy. just take it easy and don't slip the clutch.

Just drive it like your grandma would - no clutch dumps, avoid slipping it, and try not to do any WOT runs for 500 miles.
