on a warm day with the engine at normal temp, yeah, its nice and toasty. I know cause I did the auto to manual swap and I don't have any thing surround the stick. I can look through and see the tail end of the tranny and the exhaust presilencer. I get less air flowing up into the car if I keep the sunroof closed.

Ditto... but I like to keep the sunroof open. It helps me melt the marshmallows for my s'mores quicker.

or, you might have an exahust leak near the manifold. I had that problem with the shifter surround getting really hot, and it was simply from an exhaust leak. After i replaced the exhaust gaskets, and made sure they were tight, the extreme heat around the shifter and surround went away
