I think you should listen to Tom here. I would have said exactly the same things. We are currently running a lower numerical gear ratio than you are, and are not experiencing 'burn your fingers' temperatures during longer drives. The motors do get hot, but not blazing hot. We know we have very low powertrain friction (imagine that from Powertrain engineers ), so I would look for friction in your system.

I'd stay away from the thermal shock in a can... just my opinion, no data to back it up.
