I never had a metal shifter in my 350, but it did have that metal cap with the shift pattern on it that got pretty hot in the summer. After a few times where I swear I burned the shift pattern into my palm, I bought a nice little hand towel that I kept in the car to simply cover the shifter (or I simply used a hat). This solved all heat issues for me and might not be a bad idea for those of you with the metal knobs.

Let me clarify... the towel was used for when the car was parked, not when I was driving the car.....
