The decision to go down the transaxle route was IMHO not a good one but that particular horse has bolted. Part of the problem has been a rather poor choice of transmission supplier from all accounts.

If changing to a new supplier can result in reduced hours on maintenance, some reduction in cost and some improvement in team working hours, that is a good thing and should happen.

The caveat though is that most racing transaxles are relatively high-maintenance so improvements may end up being marginal rather than dramatic.
