my 83 GSL didnt do it, 84 GSL-SE did, 89 vert didn't, 88 AE doesn't, 88 vert doesn't.

 

my exhaust leak is right there under that, plus the metal the short throw shifter is made out of culd let it get hotter. and my tranny boot, the ones down in there, it is missing one of them and the other isnt attached or nething, plus my shift boot isnt in there, if my boot is down there it isnt blowin hot.

 

the 90 vert i had got hot there too, nice hand warmer

 

The whole hump in the floor for the tranny gets hot its an 89gtu. It only does it in the summer this may be from an exhaust leak.

 

ok a cold tranny is good becuse that means the power handing of it increses so dont worry about ti not getting hot this is a better than not thing

 

Most of the heat is because some DUFUS removed the factory heat shielding to save the 3 lbs it weighs. GEt under the car, look for the heat shielding, check the condition of the shifter boots and insulation, get your exhaust leaks fixed

 

 

the exaust caused it on my 90 Vert... When we built the custom exaust setup it didn't get hot anymore...
