Shift knob heating up
I've noticed that my shift knob gets really warm after driving the car. Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone know if this is normal?

I noticed that happens when I leave my car in
the parking lot for a long time (more than one hour).
What about the stick? Is it warm? Not sure how
warm "really warm" is, but unless it's HOT, I wouldn't
worry.

regardless if its direct gearbox, cable, or hydrodrallic

good call, that's radiation by the sun and green house effect in car, which is another source/reason why the knob gets hot.
