I don't know if this is normal, but after driving for a while I notice the center console gets pretty warm. Right where the cup holder is, and also the sides on the carpet and especially that bolt on the carpet right below the brake. I am guessing the heat is coming from the resonator under the car or the Automatic tranny (SC400)

 

It's normal

 

Your search button would still be warm if you'd searched heat near transmission

 

Yeah I typed warm center console before and nothing came up. But its not I'm cool with that. Thats a lot of heat from a tranny though

Yeah, my car's interior can sometimes stay really hot even though the engine has been off and I park it in a garage. I figured it was the heat from the engine compartment but it may be from the transmission area only. So I've been cracking the sunroof now so the heat can escape.

 

somehow the heat can be lessened if you put the fan on...not necessarily the AC

 

thanks guys for the feedback, its sounds normal now but still odd at the same time

 

O.L.T. you wrote: "See that metal rod under it? It connects to the unit and moves via the hydraulic action inside the cylinder. Simply remove the arm from the dome and manually move the latch on the bottom of the heater control valve. Turn your heat on in your car and if you do not feel heat after doing this, you are set and ready! Give it a few minutes to cool down since there is still heat in the core, letting the car sit a while is a good idea too just to be sure."



Now I could guess im gonna get a for the following question, but since Im taking a 2 trips from TX to CA through the 100+ degree desert, I need all the help I can get with keeping the cabin as cool as possible even if only a couple of degrees.

O.L.T. that arm identified with the yellow arrow, (hope you can understand the question) am I supposed to pull it straight down from the end pointing up towards the hood of the car, as in directly away from the dome valve, or should it be down and a bit towards the passenger side of the car, or maybe down and a bit towards the back of the car, or down and towards the front of the car, or down and towards the drivers side of the car? Or am I pulling from the wrong end of the arm and instead should be pulling from the end pointing towards the center or drivers side of the car?

Thanks in advance O.L.T. and sorry for the confusing layout of the questions.
