125F would sound on the cool side to me. I have not checked the ZF but my Porsche G50 transaxle is hooked up to a Temp gauge and it runs at 180F general use, I would expect similar from the ZF.
The IR guns are quite susceptible to the reflectance of the surface you are measuring. If you can compare it to a known Temp on a smiliar surface.
