I am a aircraft mechanic. I used to work at the Boeing Flight Line on the
747's. The planes were straight out of the factory. I can't imagine if the
constant speed drive, which is a small transmission, needed a break in
period. I could just see me trying to explain to the customer that "Your
Pratt & Whitney engine needs to be broken in" and to expect metal shavings
in the oil is normal! We would be pulling and engine if that was the case.
Transmissions DO NOT need a break in period. A new Motor on a car needs a
break in as high rpm's are not good for a brand new motor, but not a
transmission. This type of talk makes me nervous of who repaired your car!
