Offroad-Express

gday so in my 95 ssrx 1kzte i go driving along and after about 30 mins the area around my footrest (its an auto) starts getting quite warm like make my foot sweaty hot
What could that be from??? & would it be a serious problem???
Cheers guys

My old truck use to do that ay

check for clay and shit up around the back of engine transmission area building up heat and transfurring it thru into the cabin also check for clay etc around the exhaust as well

something else is the rear cabin heater if that is turned to high then the water pipes travel under the drivers feet too

heat from the auto, the torque converter generates lots of heat
my truck has no carpet, and in winter its great.
in summer off road I lock to converter and some of the heat goes away.
if you want you can get heat shield pad.
