I collected my car with its new gear box. Does it need to be run in or loosened up in any way? It feels notchy, sticky a bit. Is this normal?

PS was all payed for by BMw

Mine was replace after 10K. No need to run in again.
Collected it back just yesterday, after they replaced flywheel and gearbox.

What actually was wrong? I cannot tell, since all parts where brought to Munich
for further investigation. I had the tickling/clicking whatever noise...
