Hey Guys, I just got my level 5 FLT today and was curious how other Level 5 users broke in your trannys. i plan on drag racing this weekend. Should i or should i wait?
Thanks for any info

 

i think vince@FLT once said for white1 to do a 4wheel burnout out of his driveway for the break-in procedure. anyone care to validate this??

yes its safe to race with this weekend

 

They do dyno every transmission before shiiping. I ran mine around lightly for a few weeks...........







pysch! I think you'll be fine but why not ask the guys at FLT?

 

They have an in-house trans dyno that takes care of all the break-in you'd need to do.

Stick it in there and roll brother!

 

Consider that validated.

If I know Matt, the FLT L5 has had the snot beat outta it since the first engagement of forward gears.

 

thanks for the info guys-it is basically what i had planned on doing. i figure the 45 mile drive to the strip is enough break in.

 

vinces exact instruction

Put it in
Start it up
warm to operating temperature

Break in done

 

As all coments above that is how most of you guy's do it. If you are running a fresh converter it is best to cycle the lock up 20-30 times. Ignore if your converter was tested here at FLT. Do this by some normal driving around town. I do recomend that you make sure to run it through the gears a few times and make sure it is full before driving with the wheels in the air. Basically make sure all is good with no leaks and everything functioning correctly. Take it for a testdrive if all is well without a problem or leaks, then as mentioned and photo'd above enjoy the ride. Vince

 

Glad i could help vince
