How hots the transmission thats under that floor area?
Mine does'nt get that hot, but then i live in a cool part of the planet.

I get that too.. it happens when i drive the car hard for along time. I mean its obvious on a 5/6speed because your hand is always by the tranny so i feel tons of heat coming from there.

i keep my ipod in that filp up cigarette lid, and when i pop it open after driving long distances, or anywhere on a hot day theres a burst of hot air coming from the transmission, pretty sure its pretty normal

yeah i've had that too, normally if i drive for an extended period.

do you have an inner shift boot on?

 

[quickstang_1994]

if not put it back on. if so check for holes or leaks.

when i put my new shifter on i had to modify the boot but not by much. there's just a little space showing

I do too, but I only get hot air into the car if I crack the windows and create a vacuum inside the car.

I notice this on my dads 98 vert, but I honestly have never noticed any heat around the center console/shifter area in my car. Guess Im just lucky.

my tranny gets hot after a while too..

but i can definitely feel heat from my feet. pretty sure its the heat coming off the exhaust though.

Yea I think its normal mine gets hot too. When im waitin in line at the track I gotta run the AC it gets so hot in there.

 

[uncltrvlnmatt]

Since I get the same thing, I would say it is normal.

 

[Maniak87]

yup, i get this too.

just the ford quality interior!

uhhh i think so lol

guess thats normal then...

Same here, it gets crazy hot in both of my cars...When i redo the carpet in the Fox, im gonna try and find something to reduce interior heat...

 

[Schiffy]

Mine too... but i don't have an inner shift boot, and my leather shift boot is ripped around the bottom, so i get a ton of heat coming in through there... if i can ever get up to the junkyard, i'm goring to grab a new inner, and leather shift boot, see how that works... I just assumed it was normal, and the reason mine was so bad, was because of those two issues i mentioned above.

Dynamat would be a good solution here. It prevents heat, and would make it a little more quiet inside the car.
