I have a manual 5 speed on my 07 GT and the area around the shifter and sides of the console get warm, must be normal.

Considering the cats are right under there, that tunnel gets pretty darn warm.

ive driven a stock mustang gt with manual tranny and then one with the MGW shifter, the heat padding they provide made the heat go away. it was much better than stock, dunno about the auto.
