If it has one, I don't think it would be longer than the clutch break in period.

i'd say 500 miles, switch the fluid and your done, tick performance is the new t56 guru's since 6speeds inc went out of business

No real "break in period" but like Junky said, 500 then swap fluid. Just to let everything wear in and then flush all the small contaminates out.

I diddnt think so either but just wanna make sure, I dont want any problems. When I first got it I really diddnt know how to drive, but thanks to will and just hang'n out with luke, trent and pretty much everyone from GM Muscle, I learned how to shift right among other things. Damn you guys taught me alot, thats one reason I love going to the meets, I'm always learning something, thanks guys.
