I was wondering if any one else had the same problem. When i drive my car for a while the shifter shaft gets hot and doesnt shift as smoothly. It obvious that its the heat from the exhaust , .. but is everyones like this?

 

mine is just fine i have never had that problem in any of my cars , whats kinda of shifter is it ? is it hitting the exhaust?

 

mine gets hot after driving for a while, but shifting performance doesn't decrease.

 

nah man its not hitting the linkage at all.. there is one thing thou.. I put on a 18" resonator witch is kida fat but it points down where the shifter is.. oh yea is a dc short shfter

when i take my car out the garage it shifts really nice and quick, when it gets hot its hard to find gear and shofts much slower. i put wheel bearing grease @ the ball and didnt help much

 

its because the shifter itself gets "heat-soaked" from being near the cat...if u removed the heat sheilds then you will more then likely experience a hot shifter.

what kind of shift **** are you using? i recently got a SS and a fake ITR **** and it gets hot after about 20-30 mins of driving...but i think its just the **** that feels hot...ionno HTH!

 

My short shifter gets hot too but my tranny shifts OK.

 

how old is your tranny?
when my car is warmed up and on a hot day shifting gets difficult...but my tranny is a piece of dump! an old one!
