transmission break-in

So my 5th gear started to grind. dealer found the syncro mesh was done.

I just got a brand new tranny installed yesterday. How long do you guys think the break in period should be?

I have no idea wtf happened lol. All I know is my service guy hooked me up. Usually to get a tranny repplaced the repair need to be 80% of the cost of a new tranny. So he hooked me up with a new one, all under warranty f course.

I don't think it's from driving hard. If it were 1-3 maybe 4th gear I would say yes. But 5th gear is kinda wierd, probably a just a ****ty tranny.
