ooops. I guess that was 100 Celcius degrees. You'll note that the front Diff has pretty significant cooling fins at the back section to dissipate the heat from the VC. I don't live in a hot part of the continent, but I would guess that the ambient temp is a minor factor in the trigger point for lock-up.
