Default New converter break-in SS3600
bought a new SS3600 from a friend. Might put it in over Christmas. How do I need to break this in?

Yank specifies a 50 or 100(?) mile break-in period including easy highway driving. They want the TCC (lockup clutch) to bed in.

Mine said 150 miles easy driving, some highway and some stop and go. No WOT. That's what I did and it works perfect.

I couldn't wait. Went 20 miles checked for leaks then WOT. Never a problem

Don't forget to tune it in as well. It will lock & unlock at low speeds.
