I am getting my gears installed within the next few weeks. I was just wondering how long it will take to break them in...

500mi

chicane

6-8 (I say 8-10, but what do I know) complete temperature cycles.

It has nothing to do with milage, other than each temperature cycle equates to roughly 25-30 miles one way. Let it cool to ambient and start the next cycle.

It would be like driving to work 25-30 miles one way... letting it cool to ambient while at work and then... driving it home. That is 2 cycles a day... or about a week for you 9-5ers.

Then... be nice to it for another 500 miles.

Yea, heat cycles are where its at. Also change the fluid and check for wear aver 500 or so miles.
