Heat from the transmission tunnel. That simple.

Your solution would be to remove the center console and add additional heat reflective material.

sounds like your cat is clogged an over heating, remove and inspect the cat converter.

Thanks, I will try that over the weekend. Is there any DIY tutorial on this site showing how to remove the center console? I search but the only thing come up is the door panel.
