transmission and turbo problems
hello to all, i'm dave and i'm new in this forum. i'm from malaysia. I just bought a 1993 rx-7 about a month ago. i'm facing afew problems that i would like to share.
1. the car was converted to manual from auto by the previous owner. the problem is now, after driving for about 45 minutes, the gear console gets heated up. And i mean really hot! is this because there is a mechanical default or is there any other explanations about this?
2. the car's boost is about 0.6 bar for 1st n 2nd gear but delibrately drops toabout 0.3-0.4 for 3rd, 4th and 5th. is it possible there is a problem with the turbo itself or the wastegate? its using its stock twin turbo.
thanks guys, since i'm new to this rotary engine community, really appreciate the help.

Also look for exhaust leaks.

Another possibility that ties both of your problems together is a clogged cat. It will get much hotter than normal and you won't make much boost.
