Gear knob gets very hot.

[duntus]

Gear knob gets very hot around town is this normal or shall i need looking under the centre pannell to see if there is a gap or hole in the cover under there?

thats standard im afraid, the fix is to fit a non metalic gearstick stalk, if your interested in one i maybe be able to help u as iv just had a couple made for mine.

How easy is it to fit, do you have to drop the 'box out or can you do it from inside the car?

Either way, i'm interested, can you PM me details please?

It's a known problem on early Tuscans. Speak to your local dealer and get/ have them instal a heat sink.

I get the passenger if I have one to feel it (as appropriate) and then say "do you know what you've just done?" - "touched my hot knob"

I let one of my lady friends to have a go with my Tuscan, she said the gear stick is stiff and very warm. After she finished the drive I then asked so did you enjoy the stiff stick and a hot knob all roll into one then.
