Hey whats up guys. Im kinda new to this site use to always look around but never signed up. but now im having my clutch replaced on my 99 sh. and im wonder how hard is it to do the job. i know about the atts unit and its hard to take off. but what i wanted to know if they do take it off can they just put it back on or do i need to replace the atts fluid. im useing a exedy stage 1 clutch and a fanadza fly wheel. how good are these parts please let me know. thanks alot guys.>>>>
try searching a little. Im not sure if they have to replace the fluid. I had mine done a few years back, and I dont remember. Do you have a helms manual?

man my car has 80,xxx miles. the disk was good untill i let my boss drive the lude then he sliped the clutch to much and he ruined it. it bareley moved the car. it was like put it into neutral and reving the engine. thats how bad it was. how long do you have to drive to break it in??? and how exactly do you break in the new clutch??? also i just got it back. man its fliping sweet i love the grip its like driving a new car.
The general idea is to give it about 400-600 miles of varying rpm's with no real hard shifting. It's more about a lot of normal shifting at varying rpm's then it is set mileage so don't get on the highway and drive straight for 400 miles and expect it to be broken in.

It's a clutch, not a shortblock. The only break-in procedure for a clutch is too not be abusive during shifts, ie. not slip it excessively. Once it's engaged, it's engaged, doesn't matter what speed you drive. Varying engine speed is for seating new piston rings.

Okay, you do it your way then.
Varying RPM's is to vary load, the load while driving at 3k is different then driving at 5k.

13. Do ACT clutches require a break in period?
For organic street discs “00 and SS” we recommend breaking in the clutch for 200-300 miles with mild engagement such as stop and go city driving prior to racing or spirited driving. ACT race discs usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break in period.

T: Why is clutch break-in so important?
S: We recommend 200 to 300 miles of mellow usage for our street discs. The purpose of breaking in a clutch is to engage the disc in a controlled, consistent manner to ensure the disc, pressure plate and flywheel all make full surface contact. It's also a chance for the friction material to experience normal heat cycles.
You're missing the point. Once the clutch is engaged, there's no lateral load on the surface of the friction disc. Heat is only generated when you engage and disengage the clutch. Once the clutch is engaged, it's not going to matter whether you drive at 1500 or 7500 rpm.
Notice how they only discuss clutch engagement as part of the break-in procedure.

the sh does take a little more effort cuz of the ATTS, it like taking off two transmissions. i had a new pressure plate installed on mine with an ACT clutch and the throw out bearing was making a loud squeaking noise when the clutch was not engauged. but adjusting the pedal fixed that and no i dont think changing the atts fluid is required
