yeh, that is what i thought, that is why i asked, the mechanic that did it, recons to give it atleast 100kms before puting to much pressure on it, or going offroad, or towing ect....

yep.. ready to go straight out of the box :)

Just try not riding the clutch too much.. try and use the handbrake on hills more instead of the clutch :)

Not that I know of, should be ready to go straight away just as long the flywheel is machined properly, Brakes needs to bed in when they're new... that what I know about.
