Why is there a little bit of fluid under the shifter when you take it off? also why do you need a bead of RTV when installing a shifter? Am I missing something or can some enlighten me? Thanks guys...

Because tranny fluid flows through that area.

and why would my shifter ever feel "hot" the boot ect... or is that normal... [Confused]

Thats also normal. The tranny fluid gets warm, plus, if you dont have a lower shift boot, hot air from the motor will come up through the hole making the shifter hot.
