I have not read anything anywhere that actually states that you should "take it easy" or define's any sort of break in period for ATXs, but just to be safe...
I would. Just so you can feel everything out and what-not. If after about 3k or so and everything still feels solid, then I would give it few runs.
The main suggestion that I have for ya though...
Either get the tranny flushed every 15-20K or do a drain and fill at every other oil change. If you use Mobil 1 ATF, you would still need to change it this frequently, until you get a tranny cooler installed.
Don't get all down and out, because now you gotta go out and get something else for the car. You can get a good cooler for less then a hundred dollars and install it yourself in a few hours or less.
Once you get the cooler installed and you are fully running Mobil 1, you can then extend out your drain & fill's to every third oil change or so.
Congradulations on getting it fixed!
