It is a slow process to break clay down so that you can mix organic material into it.
I have used gypsum which is sometimes marketed as "clay breaker".
I put it on and after about a year---the clay is somewhat softened to about an inch.
I kept repeating this while adding organics---takes a long time to make good soil from clay!
