What happens if vent is plugged off? Has a kind of cap in there. Should I remove that cap? Transmission has been getting hot. Maybe this is why???

yes has little vents in it. I AM concerned about the heat though. Transmission gets kinda hot when driving. Center console heats up nicely. And if I get done driving, tranmission takes a LONG time to cool down. IS that normal for Manuals? Seems to take longer than my auto did to cool down. WAY longer.

it will take longer to cool down seeing as how all the heat is traped in the gear box, but on an auot you have fluid moving through lines anda cooler to help remove some heat
