- Sun Apr 03, 2011 7:08 pm #248041 there is a rubber boot that is suspsoed to be covering the hole where the shifter goes.. if that isnt there, then the heat from the exhaust will warm up the shifter and the console

- Sun Apr 03, 2011 10:32 pm #248075 Catalytic converter could be clogged up. That would block the exhaust flow and cause the cat shell to get extremely hot.

The mechanic who told you that the heat shield is "a bit thin" isn't too bright. That's stock. And Honda would not have put that there is it didn't work. properly.

I apparently didn't install my boot properly doing my b20 swap and my leather boot gets warm after driven, even on cold days. I actually kind of like it as Washington is pretty cold.

- Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:42 am #248098 The shifter is going to get warm no matter what simply because it's directly over the catalytic converter. If it's getting HOT to the touch, then there's a problem. Pull your cat down and report back your findings.
