Transmission Issue After Track Day

I did bed the pads in on the way to the track the 1st morning... probably pissed off a few locals but the roads were empty at 530 am lol.

I did bed the pads in on the way to the track the 1st morning... probably pissed off a few locals but the roads were empty at 530 am lol. Although I just did it by going from 60-10 about 7 times rapidly, not the reccommended 80-20 decel for 6 or so times.

Do you mean just the proximity of the hot caliper to the rotor when the car is stopped can do this, even without the brakes engaged?

Edit: yeah I'll prolly ask to take the old diff home so i can open it up to look and take pics before I toss it in the dumpster, if I do i can certainly post em.

...just keeping this thread warm for yah SPOHN, im no thread terrorist

Edit 2: If the rotors are suffering from uneven wear, is there a way i can tell this apart from warping without using a dial indicator setup? Will they get better or worse with time? The bedin/pad deposites seems to be pretty evenly spead out at this point, very little if any improvement in braking feel, car actually noticeably hesitates momentarily a couple times when braking just before coming to a stop from the uneven grabbing. MX72s are the only pads i own at this point and were reputedly a trackable street pad, tho im pretty sure I was using them harder than intended.
