Once you install your new clutch, it is important to break it in.
A series of roll-on starts are used to break in the clutch.
Follow these procedures for breaking in your clutch and any
time new friction disks, EXP bases, Teflon pads, or wedges
are installed.
Failure to follow the break-in procedure and oil screen
inspection process could cause motor oil delivery
failure, which can result in motor failure, serious injury,
or death.
