I'd like to point out that I have a two piece aluminum knob in my V8 and in
18k miles I can't say that it has ever gotten more than warm. Kelvin's
disclaimer still applies tho.

Max:
The alloy shift knobs were developed to ensure correct driving habits.
As taught in most driving schools, the shift knob is only to be used
during shifting, and with a solid clean throw. The exact amount of heat
transfer during this time period was calculated and the density of the
alloy shift knob adjusted to ensure that when shifting correctly a nice
warm feeling is generated, which enhances the driving experience.
Anyone leaving their hand on the shifter which loads the shifter springs
and is understood to be a poor driving habit will however receive a
nasty burn.
