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
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.

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