wouldtn filing off the gear teeth change the gear ratio of the trans? But to the original question, you need to break in a clutch, yes it will work without it, but you probably took at least 25% of the life out of it, </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

Naw, it doesn't change the ratio, 'cause the gears are fixed.  You're not changing their size, just the number of teeth.  25% I can deal with.  What's that, like I figure the clutch'll last for 80,000 the way I drive it.  So, it's only gonna last 50 or 60,000, and that's fine by me.
