centre gearbox heated.

hello, just gotten my ride. just wanted to enquire if its common for u guys to experience a heated gearbox due to the axle running thru the centre of the car? is there anyway to insulate the heat? And also, whats the fc for your cars? mine is a auto version.

The heat is normal. If you are talking about insulating the heat emitting from the centre console (cup holder) then here's a link. I haven't got around to trying this myself but I will soon.

I use amaflex (left over from my previous sound proofing session) and it works quite well too.

Thane: Look at it from a positive side of life.... you now have a heater/ warming oven at the front of the console and a slightly inconvinient cupholders in the back. I keep my ice-blended coffees at the front section and leave eveything else in the back. Our drink warmer console is near perfect coz the damn ice-blendeds are tough to drink immediately.
