Hi guys a quick question....
I was driving along the motorway today at a steady speed (not exceeding any limits) and i noticed there seemed to be some heat around the centre console, even though the window was open and the blower was on cold, even the gear stick seemed quite warm too....

Any ideas?

Gearbox mate, if you felt the gaitor around the stick you'll feel the heat, I've never noticed mine get that hot though

Might be worth checking how much gearbox oil you have in there and the colour of it
 
It'll be exhust pipe mine gets warm to especially passengers foot well
 
hi guys, thanks for the replies.
I will check the gearbox oil and obviously that the truck isnt on fire.....:augie
 
I can feel the heat from the gearbox after a few hours of driving but I don't have carpets in mine, just rubber matting.
 
I get heat coming up around the gearstick gaitor after a run, and the stick does get warm with a long drag up a hill, always has done (had the car 6 years), never got any worse.
 
there should be two sets of gaiters on the gear levers the one you can see (rubber or leather) and another rubber on under, check the lower one is not split, Rick
 
I can feel heat on mine on occasion, top gaitor is also split for gear stick though :lol
