I already nearly put it in a ditch once on a cold rainy day with the RE11's on it, I'll pass.

Re: Bought a Miata
the last 3 reviews on that clutch kit are not favorable, maybe you should break it in properly lol.

[quote=""Chris GTO TT""]Now that I have it running I put the 'winter' wheels and tires on since I'm planning on daily driving it for awhile to break in the clutch. I also put up a reminder to start it in neutral as Flyin Miata recommends.

Why do they recommend this?

I think it's more for the stage two, but it's to prevent the Thrust bearing from being trashed from the added pp force of starting it before oil is flowing.

Re: Bought a Miata
Some miatas had issues with crank walk like the dsms

basically its one of the only weak points on the Miata BP engine. As part of the clutch kit FM includes a bracket that clips over the clutch depressed switch so you can start it without pressing the clutch.

Re: Bought a Miata
Damn. We just slam new clutches into new builds and beat the shit out of them on the dyno immediately. None of this "break in" nonsense!!!!

Re: Bought a Miata
Easy break-in is designed to make sure when the thing fails, you are already out of warranty.

Re: Bought a Miata
Depending on how FM does its warranty I may already be out of the warranty period... I bought it in October of 2016.

Re: Bought a Miata
and something in the clutch hydraulics let go on the way home today. Pumping the clutch gets me enough pressure to shift, but the pressure eventually bleeds off letting the input shaft spin again. No leaks at the new slave, so it might be the master 
Re: Bought a Miata
No external leaks... It's a master. Either leaking inside the firewall or internally bypassing.

Yeah I was leaning towards it internally bypassing as the reservoir was still completely full.

Re: Bought a Miata
I mean you could be ballooning the soft line but that'll usually pop and shouldnt allow you to build pressure from repeated pumping.

Re: Bought a Miata
Look up under the dash where the master rod comes through. You might see a few wet spots. It doesn't have to leak much to cause pedal loss.
