    First off: Yes, I did a search on this forum, but couldn't find the answer. Yes, I know this next part is a dumb question.

    My question: Currently have slightly over 400 miles on my 2019 Off-road MT. I noticed right off the bat that the clutch felt pretty heavy, even compared to my 2004 Dodge Viper. Does the clutch get "lighter" after a few more miles of breaking in? Or am I stuck with having to workout my leg every time I get drive, forever?

    Or do I stop being a little b**** and stop skipping leg day?

    Welcome Trevor.

    The break in period will be found in your owners manual.

    I can call up my sister. She lives pretty close to you and has no aspirations of leaving Illinois.99A6D08D-7BCA-4C9A-A53E-7B788C5A2ADB.jpg

    All jokes aside, your clutch shouldn’t be a workout unless it’s an Eaton Fuller. Take it to the dealer.

    The manual really should not require any break in. Just open the glove box and pull it out. Open and read.

    It's a very light clutch I think. Almost . . . too light maybe.

    I can hardly wait. Since your in the midwest, better like shooting, hunting, mud bogging, etc. Sharron is a diesel nut and loves 3/4 ton lifted trucks. Our family has always owned GMs, but she went with a 14’ F-250. Dad about disowned her ass. She can’t even park in the driveway when we all go back up to Montana to see the parents.

    Your last name isn’t Peters,
    Peterson, or anything like that right?

    If you have TO bearing issues it can stiffen up the pedal. Have you smoked your clutch recently
