What would cause a 1988 Mazda RX-7 manual to have a hot to the touch shifter?

The exhaust produced by the rotary engine can easily excede 1200 degrees. Consequently, the fact that the exhaust runs in close proximity to the transmission tunnel can cause the shifter to heat up during hard driving. The bearing at the crankshaft of the engine where it connects to the transmission can fail causing friction leading to an extreme amount of heat to be transmitted throuh the transmission internals- if the car also gets hard to shift or even locks you out of gear when hot but shifts smoothly when cold (not obviously bad clutch or synchros) this is likely the problem.
