breaking in the new tranny - take a look please.
hey guys,
I am getting my new tranny put in today under warranty (03 w/ 16k miles -third gear grind), and I wanted to check with you guys on breaking it in. I know when you buy a new car the whole 1000 mile break in deal with throttle control and not sustaining speeds for long time and bla bla, but I just wanted to see what the time period is for the tranny? Same? Same poceedure? Anything inparticluar I should make sure to def do/ not do? Just wanna make sure I do this right so this one lasts awhile. Thanks in advance for confirming with me on this stuff...
* also i read in a post something about getting a new clutch disk as part of the warranty deal.. is that true? should I have said something about it when I dropped it off, or will they do it automatically? Thanks!
