Greetings,
I have been enjoying my GT6 since acquiring it last November. And now that it
is over 30 degrees Celsius (86F) with a humidex of 40+ (104F), I have come to
understand why everyone calls the GT6 a 'hot box'. The other day I could smell
what I thought was burning rubber. I think it was my shoes melting. What is it
that makes it so friggin hot in the car? The tranny? The heater core? The
engine itself? All of the above?
I have thought of disconnecting the heater for the summer months because even
though the valve is off, it still gets hot. Any opinion on this?
The stick shift also gets quite hot, so I equate that to the tranny getting
hot. Is there a way of cooling it? Maybe stick some freezer packs under the
shifter cover every time I take off?
Or maybe the Lucas wiring is acting like a toaster element.
I don't think I have enough sweat to last all summer at this rate and my beer
money is running out. I need help!
