Default Re: More Chevelle updates

The last time I replaced the clutch behind the '09 I used an OEM '69 Corvette 11" pressure plate with a woven disc. IT had those little fibers sticking up all over it so I figured it wouldn't hold as designed until those wore off. I didn't want to waste time driving around for many miles before they wore off so I put it in reverse, set the parking brake, revved it up and rode the clutch until there was plenty of nasty smelling smoke everywhere. That break-in took about 30 seconds and the clutch has never slipped or failed with many miles after that including 4000rpm launches with slicks.
All I can say is that &quot;it worked for me&quot;. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]
