real world info on how to break in new clutch

I think you're gonna be fine. As I said earlier, get the adjustment right, run it thru the gears a few times, and I think you'll be good to go. :thumleft:

I sometimes wonder if driving these newer manual trans hydraulic systems is killing the newer/younger folks from really learning how the old school mechanical systems really work and feel.

I will admit at 54yrs old, i have never side stepped a clutch or shifted a stock trans without the clutch. I may have left a few thou or maybe as much as a hundredth on the table, but i have never lost a trans or clutch on anything with less then a 100k plus on it.

As far as racing, there are many ways of "blueprinting" the pedal adjustments to get you where you have minimal air gap for the launch, and just a tap of the pedal for a full throttle shift. Once you understand the geometry of your particular setup, you can get it spot on with a little time and work. I've done Z-bar mods and even duct taped a block of wood under the pedal...lol...too get things just right.

I suppose your using a general factory style street/strip type deal, so your regulation adjustment should be good to go...
