<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: novadude</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I know Ram says &quot;no break in required&quot;, but that seems counter to what every other clutch manufacturer recommends. I would think that any new clutch needs to &quot;bed in&quot; for a few 100 miles or so, just like brake pads don't provide full pad contact right out of the box.

Having said that, I could only wait about 50 miles before &quot;testing&quot; my organic Centerforce disc. I'm not patient enough for 500 miles of &quot;grandma-style&quot; driving. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

That is the process I have always followed. 100 miles break-in varying rpm from 2500 to 3000 to 3500 to 4000 and finally 6-6500 shifts after the 100 mile break-in.. Only clutch that I am aware that does not need a break-in is the iron disc race style clutches. The only Ram clutch setup I had success with were their twin disc systems. I hope you get it straightened out.
