I agree. I have rebuilt transmissions including replacing synchros 
and not noticed any break in period. My synchros came from VW, 
however, and it is possible that the ones used here came from a 
second source and were not as well machined. This might explain 
the observation.

The synchro rings are brass, and I don't think a bit of brass wear 
particles in the oil will bother anything.

I'm really not!
