I don't really have a problem, more of a concern.
I got a new clutch complete kit installed recently. I already know it takes like a week to break it in.
After a week it fully hardened (it was soft and spongy when I first got it of course).
I put around 400 miles (alot of them being freeway) on the clutch, and then did a canyon run. (it took like 2 weeks to put around 400 miles).
So now it's at like 650 miles on the new clutch. It doesn't slip, it feels FULLY broken in now... it did especially after the canyon run (which i revved to like 6200RPM range on of course).
I'm just worried if I fucked it up by not waiting longer. Somebody told me I should have put 1,000 miles before canyon running. Another guy told me not to worry and said it can take as little as a day to break in.
I'm just worried about my clutch longevity.
CONCERN #2:
After a 10+ minute freeway drive in which I am in 5th gear without shifting or pushing the clutch in...
I get on the off ramp and when I push the clutch in, it is HARD. I love it.
then after some use on the street, it softens back up to the normal softness.
Also, on hot/warmer days or colder days the clutch pedal feel changes.
the engagement stays the same, but it gets harder or softer depending on the weather.
I understand this is a hydraulic clutch, but is there some way to get a consistant feel? I will already try bleeding, bench bleeding later on, but I'm just wondering if this is normal or not for you 240 owners.
