I've heard you have to break in new gears as well and not to beat on them initially. I've heard that when you first get gears that they are hardened and if they are shocked they are more likely to crack or chip. Once you heat them up they lose part of their tempering and are slightly softer and start to develop the tooth contact pattern and also have more give to them when you really beat on them. That's why you hear about drag racing gear sets not being suitable for the street, they're so soft they wear out really quickly(within several hundred miles) but can survive harder launches and not break.
