Hi Volks:

Quick question:

Is it normal for the gear selector lever on an automatic to get very hot near the base?

If it isn't normal, what does this indicate?

My gear selector lever gets very hot near the base - I can barely hold onto it for 6 seconds before it becomes too uncomfortable to hold.   This was noted during highway driving on a cool day.

The whole base of the console become very hot as well, it radiates uncomfortable amounts of heat into the cabin.

TIA;
