No I'm not suggesting what you should do just telling you what I've done. When I rebuilt my 4 speed..
I drove it like I stole it when I put a new clutch in I drove it like I stole it after I broke my engine and I drove it like a stole it....
First thing I want to know if it's going to break and leave me stranded. And I would double those efforts if I had a warranty...
Before it runs out...
Nine years later now I could go out and jump in that thing and I wouldn't blink twice at driving across the country except for of course the amount of gas it would drink LOL or the fact that I don't even have windshield wipers on it...lol.
Don't let these internet guru's (I have most these Ya-hoo's on ignore anyways..) get in your head just enjoy your hobby and don't worry about it. I'm sure you're like me and have good insurance with towing...
