Hey guys....Im going to throw my new diff in this weekend. I know with most clutch type diffs, it seems the instructions for break in entail driving figure 8's for 30 min, coasting on the straights with light throttle through the curves then change fluid..... In the instructions for the diff I got it says drive 180 miles lightly and with speeds of 40mph or less....I pretty much HAVE to drive my car on the highway...Im wondering if I just do the figure 8's if it will be ok to use my car pretty normally after? Thoughts on what i need to do to break this thing in properly? I know its always best to follow directions, but I need to use my car as its my daily! Thanks!

if you gotta drive on the freeway you gotta drive on the freeway. just make sure you put in fresh oil after the figure 8's. might want to make sure there's fresh oil after the 180miles as well.
