5R44E Wear In
Thinking about having my 02 Ranger transmission rebuilt by someone local. What do I have to do where reinstalled as far as the wear in procedure goes? I've never really worn in a tranny so kind of new to me.
My main questions are
How many miles does it take before it's fully worn in?
How should I treat it?
Is there anything I need to watch for or do throughout different points of the break in?

Occasionally check it for leaks. Decades ago, I had a transmission rebuilt by a shop that was so clean you could eat off the floor. (Yea, I wouldn't do it, either. Figure of speech) This place bragged that they rebuilt all the police cars for a local large municipality. I get my car home and it had a large leak. Large enough that it should have been caught before it left the shop.
