I'd say it is normal. I am sure your converter is operating as it should so that is not an issue either. If it was is would throw a eng light.

 

I think the car does loss power when it's hot out but that's normal.

 

normal

 

Guys come on...this is a performance car. This stuff is going to happen. Don't sweat it. If you are that worried then bring it in to a mechanic, but I had this car for a while and I can't count how many times the tranny got hot on me. It's fine.

 

If you want to feel heat from the transmission and shift knob just run an autocross and have a second driver. That will get things warmed up. I've got 86,000 miles on mine.

 

Perfectly normal.

 

i vote to change thread title to: "hot tranny."


anyways, i've noticed that my shifter get warm and the central area warms on cooler days (when i can actually notice). no biggie, annoying that the side of my leg might get a little warm but bearable...

 

its normal i guess. happens to me sometimes in stop and go traffic when theres not a great deal of air flow under the car.

 

umm, 2 drivers.... simple. i do it at least once, if not twice a year.

 

It's normal. If you do some hard driving for half an hour or so then put your hand in the cup holder, it feels like an oven.
