Are SPEC Clutches any good?
Re: Spec clutches any good?? It’s not bad, but it does take a long time to break in. Initially my clutch chattered heavily, so be careful. Mine took almost 1500 miles to break in, but works better now. Pedal pressure is higher than the OEM clutch, so that also takes time getting used to it.

How can I break my clutch faster?
So what you want to do is “bed” the clutch in without introducing much heat very quickly. The best way I have found to do this is to “put, put, put” around the neighborhood. Go one block, stop at a stop sign. Go another block, stop at a stop sign, repeat, repeat, repeat.
How can I speed up my clutch break in?
Go one block, stop at a stop sign. Go another block, stop at a stop sign, repeat, repeat, repeat. Pull away from the stop signs like an old lady. Remember the key is very little heat so you don’t want to slip the clutch much and you don’t want to load it once engaged (NO hard acceleration).
