    If you JUST got your vehicle, and I'm talking new, you should wait before you break the clutch in, and wait for your second oil change, then see how your mileage is.

    You won't get anything stellar right off the bat.

    O well I've broken in the hell out of my clutch, so much so that they are putting in a new one right now... I'm not looking to do the upgrades now, but for future reference, it would be nice to know a few ways to save some cash.

    Wait, are you saying that you abused the clutch? Because in the other thread you started, you said that it should not have gone out that fast and that you don't do burnouts or launches. Which is it?

    I drove like a person should drive. I didn't do burnouts, I didn't red line it, I didn't leave it in gear too long, I didn't throw it in and out of gear. I started slow and drove the speed limit. I merely meant that the clutch broke, not that i abused it.
