Sometimes i feel heat eminating from the middle console. I rest my hand on top of the rear defroster switch area, and sometimes it gets pretty warm to mildly hot. Some days it does this, other days i don't feel any heat. I've never really taken note if it's from the stop and go traffic or not, but I'm concerned this might develop into a problem, especially because the summer's coming. Any ideas anyone?

 

yes i notice this too, i think its cuz the downpipe is right underneath there

 

or the tranny.... the DP is further under the passenger side of the car, i dont think it would effect the console temps.

I haven't had this problem. I drove the car for 8 hours straight coming back from florida and never felt anything. My car also has a downpipe..... Their really isn't anything underneath the center console. Just a couple of wires and thats it. Maybe heat is transferring from the transmission. I notice that my shifter gets hot when I drive it.

 

well i notice this more when im doin city driving.... cuz when you're driving in the highways it kinda gets aired out...... i also have the stock dp in thats why i would have suspected it for my car.... i dont know about his



i wouldnt doubt that its the tranny specially if you get it more on city driving with all the gear changes and all

 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is normal. If you have leather interior that might also be a simple solution. But heat from the transmission would be my guess. I wouldn't worry about it

 

anyways...... anything on an rx7 is hot!!!!

Pull up the console and make sure your shifter gaskets are

there, if they arent, that will bring the temps up in that area a LOT

 

yep I had this problem with my first rx7 I replaced the shifter gasket and walla no more heat.
