2 questions about recently installed gears
2 questions about recently installed gears 1st do gears need a "break in" period of any kind and how long and what should i do to break them in and should i change fluid in the near future.....2nd im pretty sure it threw my speedo Way off cause i no gears help but i can do 100 in no time so do i need it to get recalibrated.....i went with 3.73's and i had 2.73's in a A4 ......and any thing else i should no about them
Just drive the car nice for a little while.
Its ok to get on it once the car is in motion and the gears are locked in, but any shock from slamming at like a stop, the gas or kickin it sideways you want to keep to a minimum...
The longer and better you break them in will help determine how long they last and sound.
And btw,
I am thinking about doing the same thing, 2.73--> 3.73's.
How do they feel?
If you get your fluid changed when you put the new gears in, Im pretty sure you don't need to do it again.

You are right, you dont need to, but if you were changeing the fluid to not only get new fluid in but to also check for metal shavings, it is not a bad idea....
You also dont have to change the engine oil every 3000 miles in some new cars, but people do....
