There is no break in period for a new clutch or RMS, I've been replacing them for over 35 years....

Yes, clutches do have break in periods! Just like brake pads need bedding in. It is important NOT to slip it for the first 100miles or so.


I am not sure if performance clutches require more break-in miles or not, but my Centerforce and my ACT 600# street clutch had recommended 300-500 miles break in from the factory.
