6mt manual break in period?

E92TiAg335i · 04-20-2016, 01:13 AM

Hey guys. Whoever owned my 335 before me blew the synchros, so i had a new tranny installed. I just got the car back today, but my SA was away from his desk, so i didn't have a chance to ask him about the transmission break in period? Does anybody know how long it is and some of the things i should or shouldn't do during the break in?

I would imagine there isn't a break in time for the trans. I normally do 500 miles to break in a new clutch though.

Had mine replaced recently; didn't actively break it in. You may notice a bit of a smell for a short while - nothing to worry about.

When I had mine replaced I thought it was a little notchy for the first week, but then it was fine.
