I do not think it matters -- as long as you are just resting it there and not applying any sort of downward or lateral pressure. Almost every one of the cars I have owned in my 35+ years of legal driving experience has had a manual transmission. I rest my hand on the shifter out of habit and without any unusual transmission issues.

This is my experience and opinion only and I make no warranties either expressed or implied.

no, don't touch it, don't even look at it in a mean way. Holding on to the shift knob can turn your vdc off and cause your oil to overheat.
