Heat really comes through the shifter area on my ride

Can I buy some Dynamat from you? I need some with my IRS with complete solid bushings on it to help keep noise down inside. I need a 2x2 sheet and a 3x3 sheet if you have any and are willing to let some go. Let me know!!! And yea, just put something there to absorb the heat and you'll be fine.

Teej just tell Devon that you will steal his wife while we are getting smashed after the AM show if he doesn't hook a brother up!

Well, I will get a little keychain thermometer and stick it down there next time I go for a drive. It get's pretty flipping hot on hot days. Uncomfortably warm, as in feet are sweating and legs are burning...I don't notice it as much until the temps at getting into 80s-90s. My shift handle gets hot as hell sometimes, but usually only after it sits in a parking lot and I have been driving it for a while...Then it cools down once I start driving again-Weird...

I will crawl under the car this weekend and see if I have a heat shield in place-can anyone post a pic of the area where the bell housing and engine meet? I cannot recall if there is supposed to be a heat shield or not.

teej-the dynamat may not be what you need..infact the info in a thread smitty had goin regarding noise may offer some info for you. The Dynamat I have though is in 12" square sheets. I have atleast one unopened box left...for the future-if any of you guys need dynamat-get it from ebay, but not dynamat, it's called brown bread, its better, cheaper, and comes in big azz rolls.

Ok man, Thanks. I was told by the gentleman that makes the bushing kit I bought that dynamat is what he uses in street cars that he installs his bushing kits on to minimize noise so I thought i would give it a shot.

ahhh now that i think of it...that is a direction harmonic transfer of noise, not just resonation from exhaust...so the sound deadening material may work fine. But ya, def. look at brown bread for an area as big as you need. I only have prolly 6 sheets of 1' square left, and I will prolly be usin em' myself lol.

won't everyone on the side of the road still be able to hear it though? that would be kind of embarrassing IMO.

no, see the noise is created by the transfer of vibrations from the road, through the solid bushings, to the body of the car and the body vibrates, making the noise. So, in theory, if you stop the vibration, you stop the noise. That's a super simple layman's explanation lol
