Noisy gears after drag racing? Strange 12 bolt rear has 700 miles on it and after running it at the track I noticed the gears are pretty loud on decel. Any opinions on this? I am gonna pop the rear cover of and check to see how the mesh looks and try to snap some pics.

Funny, my brothers doesn't do it.
I have read of others doing it though but wasn't sure if it did it on accel or decel or both or a possible explanation on why it happens. Gear mesh must change do get gear wine right?

Thanks for the info guys, at least it is the nature of the beast as you put it, but it kinda pisses me off a bit anyway that these things can't be quite after putting a load on them. Also looks like one of my axle seals is leaking, inside of the rim is coated with oil and the caliper is brown...
