Technical Panda TA gear change indecation light

mine wouldn't pull 6th gear on the level until it'd done a few thousand miles,
they take @15K to fuly loosen-up.
I used a "hard-breakin" regime on mine,
to ensure the oil control rings did their job, (y)

at 26K now, never had an issue,it's oil tight
it's on it's 4th set of oil
Mine has the 5 speed box - so maybe the gearing is longer lower down which may explain why it seems to like me to stay in second until almost 30mph!
 
The main thing I noticed with my TA when run in was that it is so much smoother without all the grumbling it used to do at lower mileage, now I can take it right down to low revs in 4th or even 5th without any complaints and it'll pull away no problem, helps it it's warm too! As Charlie said it takes a good 15 or 20k to get there.
