Default Break in period for A4 rebuild?

I just got my transmission rebuild completed today from a GM dealership under warranty. What kind of break-in period/treatment am I looking at?

No break in is necessary. Make sure it shifts good with no dragged out, sliding shifts.

I take it easy long enough to make sure the fluid level is good. A couple 10 to 15 minute drives check the fluid level and then its hammer time for me

the guy that built my brother's tranny told us to take it out and romp on it and make sure we really liked it. said he was pretty sure we'd like it so thats just what we did, no break in time at all. as long as the builder fully backs his warranty i wouldnt worry too much
