I have a manual 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. When driving on the highway/freeway, the shifter heats up to about 140+ degrees. If I turn on the air conditioning, it cools it down to a normal temperature (70's). This doesn't seem normal. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

I have had the transmission fluid flushed and replaced, but that did not fix the problem.

I'm not sure if you have gear lube or transmission fluid in your trans (never worked on an ISUZU )but I would change the lubricant in the trans myself may be quite dirty from internal wear and parts are heating up from a lot of friction ,Or maybe it is low on lubricant (which if thats the case look for a wet or road dirt covered spot on trans case ).drain and re-fill with fresh lube .
doing this should reduce or stop the shifter heat up problem.also check to see if the shifter has a heat shield around it ;if an exhaust pipe runs near it that will heat up a shifter if there is not a heat shield to protect it .

check your transmisson fluid level first, then check and see if your insulation between the trans and shifter and floor board is intack and in good shape
