I don't have this mod active but is the drop resistor supposed to get so hot you can't touch it? Especially with engine idling only a few minutes? I haven't experienced any shifting issues but?

 

Its metal isn't it?

EDIT N/M

 

Yeah but you don't have one, You have a 5 speed and its on the driver side strut support.

 

I know where its at and what it is I've done it before on my 00 GLE and its in the same location. Metal normally gets hot under the hood after the engine generates heat, though I've never actually touched the resistor after I started the engine.

 

I mean it gets hot right away when hood open and engine cold. Just Curious i don't recall it gettin that hot b4. (Always playing and adding new stuff under hood)

 

it shouldnt get hot. i dont know what would cause it to get hot either. get the VB!!!!
