It could have something to do with exhaust does your car still have cats on it?.. If they stop up you'll get alot of heat, normally a loss of power as well.. after driving it for a while give a look under the car most times they will glow red..

Your lower shift boot is probably shot. The rubber boot is the only thing that separates the interior of the car from the outside, so if there is a hole in it, it will allow hot air into the car.

almost same problem

i think the problem could be the "durcon III" fluid used.
...good luck.
