Default Breaking in my CM stage 4 clutch question.
I have about 500 more miles to go until I hit 1000 miles. I have noticed that sometimes at a stand still when I start off since I am trying to be easy on the clutch. This only happens from a stand still I feel the clutch catching weird. Its like a bam bam bam then go. Car shakes some. then its fine.

I have a feeling its b/c I am trying to be easy on the clutch but I want to make sure.

I can't wait until I can really try this clutch out

Default if already have 500 miles on it you can be a little harder on it
make sure you are not been to careful with it and making it slip a little. That would be bad.

The chatter he is feeling is normal. It will continue until you learn how to use the clutch.

Its a ceramic hybrid, going to be super grabby. There is no break in required. Drive hard day 1...
