Too cool is as bad as too hot.Sluggish synchros, increased friction, slow shift, higher bearing loads. There are optimums for all components, that is why measuring is best before adding weight/spending hard earner on something you probably might not need.
Add a couple of temp strips to the box case and see what you record, no need to drill/tap/wire or plumb a sensor in for the first instance.
