Gear Teeth Break-In Wear
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- The term describes grinding and shaving marks in the gear teeth. Rough peaks, formed during production, wearing away or, to some extent, rolling into the surface cause break-in wear. This type of wear normally ceases after the running-in period has expired, without damaging the components.
