break-in time is very important

drive for 30 mins let it cool completely (first heat cycle). then nothing over 50-60 for the first 500 miles. come on man this is pretty much the standard!!!!!!!!!

Sorry...didn't know that! Well I hope I didn't warp them. The first 30min + cool down thing I did just by my driving habits but I went on a 1200 mile round trip with maybe 100 miles on the gears...

Hey spoolin, were your gears new or used? If they were used dont worry about breaking them in. New ones, ehhh if you drive with them sortof easy you will be ok... I dont see how your 1200 mile trip could hurt them.
