Clutch chatter and break in period

[Paul G]

I put a McLeod Super Street Pro clutch in the 73 behind the new 505. The 505 is a beast, not dynoed, no numbers, but just a beast.

McLeod says to give the clutch 500 miles of easy street driving to break it in. That is going to take a very long time. What if this was a race car? Break in like that is not possible. Is there another way?

Letting the clutch out easy with very little throttle makes a shutter that rattles the dash. Letting it out with a little more throttle, and no shutter at all. Is that normal? Will it eventually go away?

I have been easy on it to a point. No hole shots or burn outs. I let the clutch fully engage before I nail it, even then the clutch sometimes can not hold and slips. I can smell it. I wont do that again until it has 500 miles...

Just drive it normal...no hot rodding. Your allowing everything to heat cycle and burnish the surfaces. Do a bunch of stop and go driving for a few days.
