So I heard that i need a run in period of roughly 600KM, and thats fine, so try to do a lot of shiftings, thats also fine, but can i take it to 9k RPM? No I'm not shifting at 9k, I just want to hear the sound I havn't heard for a long time. Taking it to high RPM doesnt hurt right? Just no hard launches and high RPM shifts. Am I right or wrong?

you will shatter your pressure plate into a million pieces sending hot molten clutch into your gear box and long block.



sure go for it.

lets think about something...pretty much a first grade question.

Do you use your clutch at ANY time while taking your car to 9k rpm?? Nope..therefore, how would it affect your clutch in any way? Even high RPM shifts doesnt change the difference compared to low RPM shifts, CLUTCH wise.. All about how smooth you are with your shifts, and if your burning the clutch or not from shitty shifting.. wether you shift at 9k rpms or 4k rpms, clutch wise it doesnt make a difference if your smooth..

Only thing it WOULD damage is engine wise internally since your beating your car.

thats my un educated answer

Look.... It isn't rocket science.
If you don't have the clutch engaged... why would it hurt to rev your engine?
Thats like saying you shouldn't turn on your stove, because if your hand is on it when you do turn it on, it would burn you.

rev it up till you see smoke starting to come from the hood, then quickly drop the clutch as fast as possible. Best way to break in a new clutch
