First Start-up and Final Checks

What happens here

After the transmission is fully installed and all connections are secure, the engine is started for the first time with the new components. During the initial start-up, a loud whining noise is heard, which the speaker attributes to the missing charge pipe for the turbocharger. The vehicle's engine is allowed to run briefly to circulate fluids and check for any immediate leaks or abnormal sounds. Final minor tasks such as installing the charge pipe, downpipes, inner fenders, and topping off all fluids (coolant, etc.) are planned for the following day, as the speaker is tired from the extensive work.

Goal: Verify basic functionality of the newly installed transmission and complete remaining assembly tasks.
