Exclamation excessive heat coming from console area

Today I installed a new PRO 5.0 shifter. Installation was great and I love it. But I was driving tonight and I noticed it's getting very very hot in the ash tray area. Almost like the heat is on.

The instructions said to remove the dust cover from the stock t-5 shifter. So basically there is no boot. I don't mind the dust cover missing but it's also noisy. But my main concern is the heat.

Could the transmission get that hot? or maybe it's from my off road h-pipe. But why did it not get that hot before?

Any suggestions or comments would be great. Thanks in advance
