Drexler 2010 break-in period

[abullock]

Hi, i'm new to the forum, in my second year on an FSAE team and I was wondering if anyone has any info on how to break-in the drexler 2010 FSAE limited slip differential. I have heard that you can destroy a differential if the clutch discs are not broken in properly, but i'm not sure if that applies for the drexler diff.

Drexler would probably be able to provide a more useful answer.

And if they don't, here's what we did for our KAAZ clutch pack:

1. Assemble diff and fill with oil
2. Make a figure 8 track with about the tightest radius your car can handle and straights of about 20m or so.
3. Drive around the figure 8 reaching ~30km/h on the straights. Whilst you are turning, make sure that you have disengaged the drive from the engine (hold the clutch in around the corners).
4. Repeat for approximately 30 minutes.
5. Drain oil and refill with new
