Thats normal.

Use a good synthetic gear oil.

And, replace all the shifter boots.
Here are pictures of the boots:

There is also some insulation under the main shifter boot. Make sure that its there.

And, make sure the catalytic isn't clogged and that the engine is running well since heat leaking into the cabin could come from the exhaust or even the engine compartment.
