Default Trans and stall break in
About how long should I allow a new trans and stall to break in before beating on them?

I noticed the firmness of my shifts increased after a couple hundred miles...

I'd try to go 200 miles before romping on it.

My yank came with instructions to wait a few hundred miles prior to any power runs. The bushings in the transmission with basically break in after a few minutes of running.
