I have an 02 TJ with the 4.0L 5 speed. After I drive for about 30 minutes or so, there is a crazy amount of heat that comes from the firewall beneath the dash and the trans tunnel. It's not coming from the vent system, seems to be radiating from the floor boards and trans tunnel. Shifter gets pretty hot as well, which has me thinking a transmission issue. Does anyone else have this issue? The jeep is fairly new to me, so I thought it might have been low on trans fluid. I just replaced that and it was full. Looked like ATF that came out of there, so I'm not sure what was in it. The jeep drives fine otherwise. No issues. No noise from the trans.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
