I wondered the same thing.


Engine break-in & tranny break-in are not the same wink

Think they normally recommend ~1000 miles of easy shifting. Synchro's need to bed in for proper operation (likely won't shift all that great until this happens). Gears also need to bed in to each other for optimal power handling.

TRE say no launches & hard/fast shifting for a min of 500 miles (when you should first change the oil). And will take ~2000 miles before best shifting is achieved.
