What is the break-in procedure for this Clutch Masters race clutch?

Clutch Masters recommends a specific break-in procedure for their race clutch kits to ensure proper mating of the clutch surfaces. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions included with the kit for detailed steps on how to properly break in the clutch.

Does this clutch kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch assembly and a lightweight aluminum flywheel. It is recommended to inspect and potentially replace other drivetrain components like the pilot bearing and rear main seal during installation, though these are not typically included in the clutch kit itself.

How does the aluminum flywheel affect performance?

The lightweight aluminum flywheel reduces the overall rotational mass in the drivetrain. This can lead to a quicker engine response, allowing the engine to rev up and down more freely, which can improve acceleration characteristics.
