Alright I just had my automatic transmission rebuilt to heavy duty specs. May God have mercy on my soul if I can blow this one up. Now I want to do this right so is there a break in period I should be aware of and if so how do I drive this beast and for how long?

 

id say a good 500-1000 miles should be good, is my best bet

 

It better be 500 miles cuz i'm gonna flog the **** out of it when I'm done breaking it in

 

****......as soon as I see it tomorrow this is going to be tough on me for a week or so

 

I've been told... after install... go out and beat on it...

if it breaks... it would have in the future... so take it back...

if not you're set

 

I was told by some hardcore racers... some of the people who told me build race cars... and others race for some extra $$$$ besides their income...

and they all do it...

So I can't imagine its bull...

If it was mine... I drive it hard for 100 miles... that way if it breaks I go straight back to the guy who installed it...

 

No theres deffinitely a break in period. Same as rear end gears. I know the gears need to settle (polish each other) and heat up and cool down a few times for seating. I'm hearing 500 miles of mild driving.

ALOT of helpful info in there

 

Thats funny that you posted that link....I ALSO blew my input shaft

 

if i can help... i try...

 

you could just ask the guy who built it eisen.

 

That would be too easy

 

id just give it some heat cycles. check the fluid as well

 

Not sure on the Tran's but gear's don't need any break in time.

 

Hey your back. Yeah thats what I was thinking gave it some loving today tranny made a nice clunk today going into second seems to drive fine still ::fingerscrossed:: i'm scared everytime I get on it my tranny is going to break.
