heat from a zf
after driving my car for a while the other day i noticed that the boot area and center of the console above where the trans would be was kind of warmer than what i thought it should be... is that normal?, it might of just been the sun coming in the window or my arms laying in the same place while driving.. but it seemed a bit warm to me.
maybe i am just paranoid from changing the shifter out and gear oil.. plus the fact the car has already been on fire once...

i just had the boot out when i installed the hurst short shifter so i am pretty sure that it is all put in proper there.... but it had me wondering.. just for the record... does the boot go on top or underneath the floor. it was underneath before and didn't want to shift very well, so i think i put it back together on top and slipped the little groove in place the best i could... it shifts fine in every gear except third, it wants to grind a bit going into third.. the guy told me it needed a slave cylinder, does that sound like a possible fix for that? all gears shift fine.. but third and only when you are getting on it hard... it wants to grind going into third. normal driving it is okay.. if i just shift it normal.. by normal i mean shifting it at lower rpm's and not a speed shift

That's the exact issue I'm having with my 4+3 when I get it on a lift Saturday I'm going to check the lower boot as well but tomorrow I'm peeling back the carpet around the console and going to add some insulation. (HVAC tape)
