New motor question

[Tates97]

I'm breaking in my new engine. But I have a question...I have a good idea on what to do and not to do(varying rpms, not pulling big loads...)I'm up to 600 miles and have been doing what everybody suggested. A time or two I have had to "step on it" Traffic conditions warranted it. When I did it sounded as though the engine was getting ahead of the tranny. I did all my mods while the engine was dead so I don't have reference from old to new. Is it my shifting,my modded motor fighting a stock tranny or is this normal. Any tips? Tate

it could just be the fan clutch lockin up.check the tranny fluid also.

I am assuming this is an Auto? No guages yet?

 

[Tates97]

5 speed no gauges. So I know I should hold off on the right foot...Tate

If your slipping the clutch you ought to be able to smell it. Still have the DMFW?

 

[Tates97]

no smell .sorry DMFW?

 

[94f450sd]

DMFW=dual mass flywheel

 

[Tates97]

From the engine back is stock... tate

 

[94f450sd]

then you were probably experiencing some clutch slippageyou honestly should haveupgraded to a single mass flywheel/clutch set up

The dual mass wasnt more prone to slipping was it Rich? Just more prone to coming apart as I understood.
