Hi as the title says when i drive my r33 for more than about half an hour this heat is coming from around my pedal area. It just warms up all around me and in particular my clutch pedal heats up alot. It can't be my clutch i dont think cause there is no clutch smell or anthing. What could be causing this?

I think I get what your describing as well, like if im driving along with no air on I get a nice warm almost blowing air down around my feet. I always just assumed it was heated engine bay air getting in from somewhere

the firewalls on late model 'Lines don't usually have any holes, apart from the a/c, heater hoses and throttle cable- but yeah, good idea to check to see if any rubber bungs might be missing.

i bet its the fact that you have your climate control heat on 32 degress or whatever and the setting/mode at your feet.

even if its comletly turned off, it still blows a little heat.

i noticed it when it stated to get colder and my climate contol would be set at heat (even if off). i just turn the climate control heat down or change the setting/mode if your not using it, and you wont notice it. i drive bare feet alot so i noticed it very easily

turn the climate control down, colder air.

chuck your head down there and look to the left you will see a little plastic snorkel thing, for Feet mode, that will be were its coming fom

when climate control is off, turn on the 2nd right hand button on the bottom right corner of climate control. the one with air flowiung in froom outside symbol. by activating this button it blocks the feet snorkel and air vents and allows excess heat to be dispersed from the heater unit to the outside instead of in the cabin at your feet.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
