    how to run in a new trans??
    « on: January 04, 2008 - 09:25:16 PM »
    On a fresh rebuilt 904 or 727.  What is the best way to do the first start up with the trans?  I was told at idle, in reverse for a few minutes to make sure the air is worked out of the pump.  any thoughts??

    My question is did you soak the clutches and bands before installing them?
