I think the two critical guages for a more or less
stock syncro are oil temp and trans temp.

WBX owners with oil temp gauges report temps start to
creep up around 3900-4000 rpm. I'd like to know
exactly where this happens  in specific situations so
I could back off a bit.

This engine heat rise is not reflected in the water
temp gauge, and BTW syncros already have one, so why
add another? I don't tthe specific temp reading, just
relative position of the needle in varying conditions.

Heat is clearly a problem for these transmissions, so
you should have a way to get an idea what is normal
now, and then if it gets higher in a specific
situation, back off a bit and take it easy.
