Hot Manual Tranny

After 30 minutes of city driving, I could feel my manual tranny heating my floorboards. Tranny case was hot to the touch when I parked, but I could barely leave my hand on it. Right at the threshold of too hot. Shifter wasn't hot, but floor was warm. I'm assuming this normal, but checking up anyway. BTW, just filled with MT90 this weekend.

 

The exhaust runs under there too...

 

Could also be your cat. I know that after I removed a rattley heat shield off my old taco, the floor heated wayyyy up.

 

Well the transmission housing was hot, not burning, but hot to the touch.

 

I'm just being cautious here, as I seem to have an input bearing making noise, although a shop drove it this week and said it was fine. Just don't want to fry my truck.

 

i wasn't sure what to expect from this thread based on the title but i just had to open it...

 

Ha ya sounds like a saturday night in san francisco huh?

 

Did this fix the rattle? Did it cause any problems? I'm thinking about doing this, because I can't stand the rattle anymore!!!!

 

I think it may actually be the down pipe heating the gear box, because its only hot on the one side

 

tranny might have an infection if its spiking a fever....if its cold it might be dead....oh we're talking about cars?

the exhaust system is right there so that could be it, is the engine running hot?

 

Sounds like your flux capacitor is over heating.

 

Engine is not running hot, runs beautifully actually

 

I would check to make sure there are all the proper heat shields for the exhaust on there.
