Ringer Racing break-in procedure for OZ and ZZ clutch kits (Stage 3 thru Stage 5+)
Plenty of city driving using the clutch, so shifting thru the gears.
Part throttle 1 st gear, once in 2 nd gear or in 3 rd gear above 3k rpm you can go WOT running out the gears to redline.
Doing hard pulls will help burn off the protective clear coating that is on the Cerametalic material on the disk.
Once the clear coating wears off the material and then the disk material will get bedded in.
No hard pulls starting in 4th gear or higher and no launching the car for the first 600-1000 miles.
There will be some clutch chatter while slipping the clutch in 1 st gear or reverse, this is caused by the clear coating.
As the clear coating wears the chatter will start to fade to the point that there shouldn’t be any or much chatter at all.
