Shift Knob Feels HOT!?

ok it's not exactly the shift knob, but the metal part(shifter) is um very hot~?... anyone know what the heck is going on? is this normal or a problem? and my car seems to get hotter than other cars... on sunnday warm days, it gets past that 80C mark and goes to like 90-100C is that normal? cause i thought cars r suppose to operate at 80C?

I'm not a mechanic, but it might be your transmission not getting cooled properly?

I would not say it is hot, it is warm to me even the ambient temp. is 90F or higher in summer time here in Taiwan.

its just a little heat from the tranny because Mercedes really f**ked up the interiors of our cars.

For example, my drivetrain functions perfectly, but my interior rattles like hell and falls apart from time to time.

nono.... get one, still worth it. just the interior rattling that annoys all of us... you just have to find it and replace/fix it. it's really not all that bad... we are just picky. the cause of my car's rattling is probably my system. all that sub power shakes my whole car
