Hi All,
Need some advise... Just got my SST transmission replaced at 40k kms on the ODO and it is still stock. How do you break-in the new transmission (shifting mode, for how many kms and etc...) ? Is it best to let it shift in Normal-Auto or SSport-Manual shifting? What RPM's to manual shift while break-in? I noticed Normal-Auto shift around mid 2k RPMs.

I don't want my clutches to slip in Normal in the new transmission...searched to see if there are similar threads, but didn't find the break-in part.

Thanks in adance

Just drive it. Auto/manual has no effect on shifting (except the RPM).

Then change the oil/filter after five to ten hours.

DOH! Dup.

Protip: If you plan on having some fun in the car, always put it in super sport mode. It will clamp the clutches harder, allowing them to slip less, which will result in less wear.

wait what, I thought you have to do a teach in process?
im getting mine back from Kozmic pretty soon and some people are telling me a teach in is necessary

So if I drive SSport-Manual from day 1, should be no problem? since less slip and hard clutch grab is always good right? All Mitsu said was to take it easy for a bit.... no real explanation why...

A Teach-In on ONLY needed when there are new parts to be adjusted to (such as new clutches) or something has worn abnormally.

So if I drive SSport-Manual from day 1, should be no problem? since less slip and hard clutch grab is always good right?

Standing starts will have the same amount of clutch "slip" in any mode and every time you move the car from a stop it goes through the same slip process.

It's much more robust that you think.

Sounds good! Thanks all.

Wicked_evo11, My service adviser did mention tech doing some teach in of shift points....you should ask the actual tech that is doing the work maybe?
