2003 Hilux 3L diesel heat in cabin true gearbox

[BEDRD]

Hi everyone,

I have a beautifull '03 Hilux, the 3L diesel one which drives really well. A little over 200K km's.

While driving an hour or so the center console where my gear stick is starts heating up. It's pretty hot when I put my hand on it. Has anyone had this problem before, what could it be? She still drives great, no hearable noices.

Thanks!

Checked the oil levels in both gearbox &transfer box ,maybe check the breathers not blocked.

if your driving at 110 with 3000 plus revs its gonna heat up. dont stress too much, mine does it too and the cooling system is working, if it starts radiating heat though then there is no cooland running through the box
