I can't remember what it is, but it is something like the F1 gearbox, or something with the shifting gets hot. Why does that happen? it is really confusing to me.

Are you referring to the clutch on the F1 gearbox getting hot when used in heavy traffic ?

 

[ferrari355fi]

Yeah, i think that's it. I did read the post before about that guy on the highway, but that didnt say why.

This would not be on the highway. It is only really a problem when you get stuck in a major stop and go traffic jam.

That story about the guy on the highway was because the connections on the battery were loose so he lost all power.

It gets hot because there is not a torque converter like your typical automatic so there is constant friction when the car is in a low gear at a low speed and friction over time creates heat.
