the wifes 80 series wagon lpg/ulp auto under normal driving the floor pan, t/bar, and consol gets that hot its burns your leg, hand and foot any idears still drives well changes gears smooth
bigger tranny cooler ???
exsaust to close to floor ????
My 80 and nearly everyone that I have been in is like this. My transmission is regularly serviced and operating correctly. There is apparently little insulation on the tunnel and also the exhaust is close to the floor. There have a few posts in the past in regards to this with different fixes. Try some decent floor insulation (sound and heat) and add heat sheilding under the floor also move the exhaust.

Yep same thing with ours, ours is also a 4.5lt petty auto.
When I had the XGT lightforce spotties on the front it was way hotter then it gets now with only the 170's on the front.
Gets even hotter when towing the hilux.
Has been the same for the 5 or 6 years we have owned it and have never had any problems with it.
But yes it gets very hot, lucky the AC works well
i have the same problem in my 75 seiries with an 80 series motor and auto box ive installed 2 heavy duty industrial oil coolers and that seemed to solve the problem no more burns on my legs(i carnt feel them geting burnt as im a parrapleajic)
