tlock and gears

bone_crusher · February 11th, 2008, 08:51 PM

i dropped my car off at the shop to ger lockker and gears installed. i was told there are some rules about the first 500 miles or so and was wondering what they are

just heat cycle the gears a few times before you bring them to the track.

everyone has a different thought to this. my guy told me to go out and drive around for a while. let them cool. go out and drive some more. let them cool down. (repeat a few times) and then go out and drive the hell out of it.

HMUSN · February 12th, 2008, 11:57 PM

you can easily hear it.

it's not loud like exhaust though.

would i be able to hear it over my exhaust though. i hear an odd noise its not really a whine per say though

i had no gear whine when i had the 4.10:1 ring and pinion set put in with a new frpp t-lok differential. i got the car in the afternoon, drove 30 minutes on the highway to the track, ran 4 passes, and everything is perfect 14 months later... if they are set up properly, they should not whine and you should not have to worry about "breaking them in"
