Transmission Break in period
Alright I just had my automatic transmission rebuilt to heavy duty specs. May God have mercy on my soul if I can blow this one up. Now I want to do this right so is there a break in period I should be aware of and if so how do I drive this beast and for how long?

So I can't imagine its bull...
If it was mine... I drive it hard for 100 miles... that way if it breaks I go straight back to the guy who installed it...

No theres deffinitely a break in period. Same as rear end gears. I know the gears need to settle (polish each other) and heat up and cool down a few times for seating. I'm hearing 500 miles of mild driving.
