has anyone ever done anything to the interior to make it cooler? i get lots of heat out of my car from the shifter area and the firewall dash area, i love the car but i hate driving it because of this.

 

Buy some dynomat or similar material and find where the heat is coming through and pad it. Is it auto or manual? Never mind I see tremec in the side bar, make sure that any seals around the shifter under the console are torn or loose.

 

I would definitely check for bad seals all around . I had a heat issue on my passenger side and it turned out i had a leak right at the cat .

 

Good carpet and floor mats made a huge difference in my car.

 

Its because your getting the heat bleed-off from the heater core.

Easiest way is to disconnect the heater core or install a shut off
valve in the heater core line.

 

i don't think it's that, but i'll install a cutoff and see..

 

i put a rear window louver on mine and T top sun shades. that dropped the interior heat considerably. my heat issues are solar though.

 

Open the window more or drive faster!! lol
