I Did Search without results.

Question: I recently installed a new USDM ITR transmission w/ the LSD. Is there a recommended break in period with a new tranny?

Thanks

 

I would treat it like a new car/clutch. Be kind to it for about a 1,000 miles

Then beat the **** out of it

i'd prob flush the fluids after 1000 miles too

 

Damn. That was a fast reply!
Thanks Opie

 

20-30 miles of part throttle and some coasting down in gear then it's good to go. That's standard procedure when breaking in new gears.

 

Take it out and beat teh **** out of it, thats what i did, my new itr trans came with warranty!!!

 

Break in = take it out and hit t3h v-attack. Several times

RJ - "broke in" his new timing belt this way

 

would breaking in this tranny be similar to breaking in a freshly installed LSD?

Don't you take those through some sort of figure 8 patterns for so long etc...then it's broke in? Just wondering...

Break in of lsd's depend on type. Stock is good to go.

 

Roger that.

After I posted that, I thought, well, it would be the same if you drove off the dealership lot with a new R. So, it all makes sense!

Thats the KAAZ Diff. Figure 8's for 30 mins then change the oil .

sounds like a good idea.. other than that, its all gears so i can't see of anything to break in, other than do a better job at not wearing it out.

 

So you'll are saying break-in period of 1K miles for a NEW tranny, but if its used, slap it on and beat the **** outta it is fine?

 

New tranny break in period=ZERO
