700r4 break in?

Hello everyone,

I recently cleaned up my 700r4 trans with a TCI shift kit, 2/4 servo, and a 2400 stall converter. I put approx. 1.5 litres of trans fluid in the converter before installing it into the trans. I made sure it was properly seated. I have put in approx. 6 litres of trans fluid into the trans itself. Is there anything I need to do during initial start to properly break-in the trans? I know about running through the gears and checking the fluid level etc, anything else?

Thanks!

Did you rebuild the transmission? Or just install the valve body kit?

I installed just the valve body kit servo and new converter, still the original clutches and bands.
