How often do you put new Gearjelly in your axles and trans?

I'm not to sure how often I should be changing out the Gearjelly in my axles and my transmission so that the parts will be well lubed and will last as long as possible. How often do you remove the old jelly and slap in some new jelly?

I'd say it's more dependent on how much time you drive, and if you get the tranny wet(like in submerged wet). I've had trannys that I haven't looked at in 8 mo. to a year, and they still turn smoothly.

In the last 2 years, just my rear axle, because it was full of sand. As long as I don't feel any binding or grinding, I keep on truckin.

Yep, axles too. I will add that if you had an all-metal geared trans, it probably should be checked a month or two after running, just to see if any flaking off of the material is present(gear break-in), then cleaned and relubed. I did notice that when I built one up.
