just fitted my lightened n balanced flywheel and exedy organic clutch kit i got from apt :notworthy: the clutch feel is excellent just what i was after not to hard yet not to easy to press down

now i know i should bed it in for a while . . buuut the temptation of giving it some in 2nd was to great and it slipped from 4k to 5k i let off straight away and poodled the rest of the journey home


how long should i bed the clutch in for? normally its around 500 miles ish but just wanna know what the apt guys recommend?

and thanks again to the apt :notworthy:

with a organic you shouldnt need to run in for very long but just try to to launch it

did you clean oil off flywheel and cover???

i cleaned off the flywheel and clutch cover with brake cleaner

gave it a drive down a road near me and seems to be gripping better, will keep off boost for a bit now tho
