Default New 6 speed trans/clutch break-in period

Hey everyone - I just installed a brand new 6 speed transmission and South Bend Stage 2 Endurance clutch. I've been driving super easy on the new trans, filled it with Redline MT-85 fluid. It feels fantastic so far - but out of curiosity, what sort of break in period would you recommend? I haven't found anything definitive online or on the forum as of yet. I think I'm going to e-mail South Bend as well, but what I've generally heard is 600 miles for the clutch, and my buddy said about 1,000 miles for the transmission (at which point I think I will replace the fluid, unless that is unnecessary as well?). Any thoughts? Thanks!
