but it depends i gues like how much wear and tear. just baby it..

 

Welcome to the 5th gen clutch club. I did 500. I know my clutch is perfectly broken in.

 

what happens if you dont break it in properly?

 

Whats the purpose of using a 5th gen clutch?

 

Stronger than the 4th gen, grab better.
premature wear and slipping could occur depending on how abusive one was during the break in period.

 

is it a good idea to get the 5th gen?

 

5th gen is my next clutch when the money is all there. Everyone who has replied to a clutch related thread and commented on their 5th gen clutch, they all loved it.

 

I love it as well! I think whether its a good idea or not is subjective to each individual goals. If you are going to boost or juice later, then its not a good idea. If you are going to just do bolt-on go-fast mods, then the 5th clutch gen is good. The way I see it, its a good medium between stock 4th gen and stage1 clutch.
