Hi folks,

I've been doing some work on measuring the transaxle temperatures because they impact the mechanical efficiency. Colder transaxles are heated up by converting ICE shaft power to heat mechanically. This is part of the cold temperature and warm-up problem. Regardless, I now have some useful data and put together a web page with my results:
