my shift in my car gets really hot... when i drive it cools down but its still warm... and then ill get out of my car and get back in like 20 min later and it will be really hot... is it a sign that i need a new tranny or engine perhaps? tranny fluid..?? any help will be fine... thanks

 

the actual manual shift **** in your car gets hot? If thats the case I highly doubt that the trans gets hot enough to heat the linkage all the way down to the shifter. Sounds like the exhaust is heating it up.

 

Mine gets hot thanks to the sun beating down on it. Could that be an option?

 

it was at like 10 at night.... it was hella hot... i thought it could be the sun... but... i thought otherwise cuz it was so late at night... the **** didnt get hot before today... but the shifter... got hot sometimes...

 

maybe your heat shield fell off?. why don't you get under your car and check it out for yourself.

 

Maybe it's a female and is "in heat".

Not funny.

i'll agreed that its prolly the exhaust if anything. nothing to worry about yet.

 

heres another thread discussing hot shifters. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=49015
although its more temorary solution oriented.

I know I read another thead about 2 weeks ago talking about the same problem. Everyone seems to think its the exhaust that causes it when your driving. Id have to agree.
(Sorry I can't find that second thread)

 

Think about it..

You have a hot *** exhaust underneath the car thats cooling down so its radiating heat around the bottom of the car from the EXHAUST..

So yes it makes total sense that your shifter gets hot after you run the car and let it cool for awhile.. BUT I bet you in the morning after it sits all night it wont be

and why does it not when your driving the car.. Well you have air thats blowing under the car thats cooling the exhaust down

Ok dick. I think we all know that the shifter is right next to the damn exhaust piping. It doesn't take a rocket scienctist to figure that one out. Stop acting like you got a corn up your *** and loosen up a bit.
