I just put in an s60. I read the paper and understand they WANT you to put 500 miles and an oil change through it before its broken in. I did do this with the last two gearsets that I have changed.

My question is what's the procedure for breaking in a race only setup? I mean I don't see rails and super pro cars tooling around town before the track opens for the year so I know they are not doing it. Does it just need to be heat cycled a few times and the oil changed?

I know I should do it by the letter but I'm impatient. The car has been down too long and I didn't even make one pass last year.

Drag race break in jack up rear end and let it run in gear for a few minutes then pull to the line. The way I broke in my 12 bolt was running it in gear up on jack stands in forward and reverse. Then I took it out got it hot and let it cool completely a couple times. The magnet will pick up any metal so no need to waste gear oil. My 12 bolt has been going strong for about 5 years now and no gear whine!

I was told to break it in like I was going to run it. Granted mine sees street mileage. It's been operating flawlessly for 4yrs now though.

My S60 was broken in during dyno tuning. Ran some passes at the track after that. It's all good.

Pretty much what I figured. The trip to the track is roughly 40 miles plus the 30 or so I put on it already. I'm going to try and get this thing down the track Saturday.

What benny said...... I would add to his statement one thing. Let it run in forward gear and reverse as well. When i broke my gear set in this way it is the quietest setup I've ever had in my 9in.
