Hi guy's,

Am having a AP Organic Clutch fitted today with an STI Release bearing, i was just wondering if it has to run in at all, can i just drive as usual or do i take caution for a said amount of miles...!!!

Any help much appriciated...

Cheers,

John.

I would say "drive it as normal" rather than drive it "as usual". Dont know to any special running in teqniques with these, but always best to fully let your foot off the clutch pedal before planting your right foot on the throttle anyway.

I have always been on the understanding that "Every Clutch" Needs some amount of running in,Till the friction plate "Mars"With the flywheel and pressure plate...Untill all the little peaks have been flattened...Its just a matter of taking things easy for 50-70 miles or so...Which is always best anyway with any friction linings ..Just a thought ...Kev.

Yeah either that or run it in, in like 500m by doing a 5k rpm drop clutch start ;)

Personnally I drove mine like normal and got no slip or anything..

But then that was not an AP..
