Excess heat in cabin 944

[adrian jaye]

HI Guy's just to let you know,

I was having a lot of heat in the gearbox and console area.

Now I knew this was to do with the CAT losing the heatsheild. So (cutting a long story short) I decided to put some heatshield material around the console area.

So what did I find when I lifted up the console. The Gearbox inner boot was ripped to buggery, so on replacing it my excess heat seems to have gone (at least the last 3 run's)

Though I understand that for the cat to run effeciently it has to get up to operating temp. if I have no heatsheild on the cat will this loss of wrap cause any running or co problems ?

also (there is still the long metal heat shield under the chassis) would no cat heat sheild case me problems with the gear linkage ?

cheers

Adrian
