Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the clutch disc and pressure plate, along with a 23-spline disc hub option. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components and any additional items you may need for a successful installation.

What is the recommended break-in procedure for this clutch?

Proper break-in is crucial for the longevity of any new clutch. It is important to follow the manufacturer's specific break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of gentle engagements and light driving without hard acceleration or slipping the clutch for a set mileage.
