phast - are there parts in a transmission that "run in" through sliding contact or whatever? I know in your engine the valves need to form a metal on metal seal and the rings need to seal to the cylinder bore. Are there transmission parts that have a running fit like this?I know there are friction surfaces (which we don't _want_ broken in) and gears (rolling contact & they better be ground to fit together right from the start).


Micah - In any system, energy is neither created or destroyed. Merely converted. Thats gen Physics right there. Heat is a bi-product in this case. Wether you want to think your tranny is rubbing in gear selection or not, it is. If it wasnt, then heat would be of no major factor in the detonation of our tranny's. but it is the sole reason
