I almost done breaking in my gears. I have a true Trac and 4.11 gears and I have notice that there is a small wine from the gears. Is there anything that I can add to the oil when I change it to make that go away?? By the way what is the Oil recomended for True Trac after break in; I'm currenctly running for break in Royal Purple 80w-90w (the weight might be off can't remember)..

Thanks

How many miles did he told you to break it in with. I have currently 420 miles. Tha should be enough right??? the thing is that I currently have the car in jacks since I'm installing a EWP so I might just change the oil and come out with everything once I lower the car to kick ***..

I heated up and let it cool down. The next day beat on it a bit, just drag radial stuff on the street no clutch dumps with traction or anything. Its a little noisier then the old DLS rear I had in there but thats just the nature of race rears. Decel is way worse than accel....of course the engine maybe drowning it out a bit...

Major difference in what you can do and get away with on a 10bolt. Automatic vs 6 speed, the A4 has gone 10's on stock 10 bolts. I ran 1.89 60 fts on DRs with my 4.10 geared 10 bolt 6 speed, and I left at a whopping 3000, so 1.80's aren't even impressive by any stretch in drag racing, so you will need a rear end with a 6 speed to get consistent sub 1.60's without having that stomachy throw up feeling every time you leave the line.

Here you go.

standard, plain, regular 'ol parts store 80/90 gear lube... definetly no synthetics though.

do 3 heat cycles with regular street cruising driving... no sustained highway speed or launches. after minimum 3 heat cycles, then do whatever you like. heat cycle is from cool to full operating temp, then back to cool. usually 1-2 hours cool time.

after minimum 500 miles change out the gear oil. use whatever you like and what viscosity fits your needs.
