LSD Insert Breakin

[Fmstrat]

Been searching and searching but I can't find the post where I read the answer to this. I just installed an ACT2100, xACT flywheel, and ExtremePSI LSD Insert. I know normally you break in a clutch for 200-300 miles going easy on it. But once I've done that, how do I break in the LSD Insert? I remember reading somewhere on here about launching the car hard 10 times, and I figure doing small circles would probably do it to. Any help? Thanks!

Im not sure you do have to break in a lsd insert? I know you need to break in the kaaz lsd by doing figure 8's, but this is a true clutch-type differential, not just an insert.

Right. There is nothing to break in with these inserts. It's basically just metal rubbing on metal; although, there are a few inserts that use a clutch-type friction material, but you don't have that type.

I have not heard of a "breakin" for the LSD inserts. I put mine in along with a new clutch so I just went through the 500 mile breakin on the clutch and called it good. Have not had a problem.
