I was driving tonight and i realized the area around my shift ****, like the whole center middle plastic part was super hot, what exactly is overheating? Seems a bit wierd..

 

Missing heat shield?

 

it very might could be, but if its noticable it might be other things as well

i had this problem the rubber around the shifter 'hole' came off i put it back on and used flashband (similar to dynamat) to insulate the entire area, this was in an integra si, im in a type r now and i need to insulate too, a few pics;



sealing it up;



surrounding area;



the ENTIRE FLOOR as well (extra layers around the exaust surrounding the 'hump' if you will gets hot from the exaust



i live in jamaica, it is freakin HOT and this helps inside stay cooler (i use ac btw)

oh yes! lol, i also RUBBER UNDERCOATED the undercarraige and sprayed it in chrome (to reflect the heat from the road, lol)



hope this helps

 

i bet you'd feel a big change in heat if your exhaust exited out the rear of the car instead of right under the shifter

 

Clogged cat?

 

yup, i sure did, the entire shifter/console was hot, and hot air blowing up through the handbrake area, funny thing is, after i sealed up the shifter it was still hot(ish) i had to do the floor then i did the undercarraige, i think the exaust was too close to the chassis... i tend to adress this on my type r by first removing exaust, coating heat shields and undercarraige and heat wrapping the entire exaust (properly)

 

lol!@!!!!!!!! i JUST get what you are saying sorry! lol, that was like that momentarily i was taking off the resonator... LOL

 

AND DUDE lol lol lol you can tell from that pic ITH THE FRONT of the exaust thats off at the top of the pic is the engine and gearbox.. lolers

 

lmao^^
