In my transmission hump (87 IrOC Z, 700r4) their is a hole in the transmission hump where my shift cable goes. What is intended to be in that hole because I get a lot of heat and exhaust from their. I would assume that their was a gasket their previously. What should I plug this with ?

 

If you can see the below pic, you'll see a large thick rubber gasket on the cable in the top of the pic - the cable should have one of these on it, they put them on during assembly - if you're missing it, you might could carefully cut one out of a JY car, or just get a new $21 cable that has it on. It's about the size of a beer can IIRC.

It's just a big rubber disc with cut in it for the shifter cable to go through it. I'd try to just tape it shut or put some foam over it or something.

 

Yeah.. no way im paying to replace that for kicks.. i'll make something up with that expanding foam. Thanks guys... thought it might be a simple fix..
