I suspect you have major issues with your engine earth. Check the earth straps between the engine and chassis, I suspect your problem will be the transmission selector is being used as an earth. Happens quite a lot..
The auto gearlever isn't directly connected to the gearbox, it's cable operated, so for the gearlever to get hot means the cable is heating up - which it shouldn't do.

That's strange. My petrol turbo doesn't build up enough heat to get the gearlever hot, and it produces a lot more heat than any other motor I've known in a Disco / Rangie.

mine gets warm, but not hot.The exhuast manifold runs very hot after a while and this generally warms everything up but not so it gets too hot to touch.i would get under the car trace where the two exhuasts go and see if they look either too close(ie bent or deformed) to the gearbox or if they look like they should have any heat protection.there is quite a bit under there.
