This is another thread talking about break-in procedure: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=464223. It is a very long thread (49 pages). Here and there, people did ask the break-in procedure for automatic transmission.

For automatic transmission, I think Drivbiwire (the person who wrote the other break-in procedure) suggested to just drive it with varying load without having to worry too much on the RPM. Since it is pretty difficult to upshift or downshift at a specific rpm in automatic, except maybe tiptronic.

So in other words it doesn't make a big difference.....anic: LOL...

I meant being so strict on RPM. I don't think break in overrides driver pedal control when it comes to good mileage and if you read Drivbiwire's posts you learn to cut through his puffing. Don't worry, you will still get good mileage even if don't have a perfect break in. According to his post, break is still happening up to 60,000 miles, and everyone who doesn't follow his exact procedure up to 60,000 miles is down on fuel economy.
