Two questions arise. 88 16v.

Can I bolt up the trans to the engine block and drop it in as a whole? Or do I have to drop the block in by itself and then bring in the trans from the bottom? Which is easier?

How many miles should I break it in for? It's a 9A with all new rings, bearings, and seals. Some people told me 300, some said 500 or 1000. I'm thinking at least a couple of oil/filter changes during it. Any input?

Thanks,
Joe
