check the rubber seal between the shifter and the transmission tunnel. Mine was torn, I replaced it and immediately noticed a difference in temp.

here is a thread I had on the subject https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...=tranny+tunnel
Check the rubber seal as CCarlisi suggested and there should also be some ugly looking felt piece that goes over/around it. I went a step further and placed some DEI heat shielding material under the rubber boot/seal thing that also extended along the sides of the tranny tunnel under the carpetting. That helped a lot!
Also, replacing the tranny oil with some fresh Redline by itself led to a very noticeable difference before my extra insulation tricks.
