Default I think just routine stop and go for a few hundred miles. But Mike.. CMH said he broke in his Werks
of Art clutch by repeated high torque 'runs' on the freeway.

Break in not break silly...just drive 5-700 miles being as gentle as possible with the engagement.

Default Oopps..So when the dealer told me I needed to break my engine in...
I probably shouldn't have hit it with a hammer, trying to "break" it in ;-)
