Default just put in a rebuilt trans...

yup, just got done putting in my new(rebuilt) transmission. got it from astropreformance. i filled it w. tranny fluid(proper amnt. and proper fluid), had it idle for about 10 min or so then took it for a short drive. i noticed, its very notchy now, not very smooth at all, is that normal and just needs to break in or what?
