ok, i think something has to be wrong with my clutch, i was drivin today and noticed that the shifter pole was getteing pretty hot and then the whole middle console started getting pretty warm, now what i need to know, is if that is normal or is something wrong, this is only the 3rd time i've drivin it for any period of time. and also what is a common price for a hood at the junk yard? thanks

Maybe it has no Transmissiin Oil? maybe a worn bearing?

when your checking your gear oil and bearings?
look at that dirty pipe that runs from your exhaust manifold to the rear of the car.
it get very hot hense forth it expells heat your console is only six inches away,your transmision is just about connected to it.that resonator right in the middle of the car doesn't exactly cool things off either.the fact is the heat is just part of owning a z-car.its great in the winter.

Check your inner shift boot. I had the same problem until I replace the boot.
