I know when you get a new motor or a rebuilt one, you have to do certain things for certain period before you can drive normal, but how about a transmission? Thnx Guys

Any thing using oil with moving parts like that has to be broken in. Don't exeed 3k for about 500-750 miles is my guess. Or you can go to a dealer and ask them what the break in period is.

Then again autocross beats the hell out cars.
