I would say that it is due to the fact that there is no slipping or friction surfaces rubbing against each other that would cause heat. Manual transmissions engage different size gears to drive the vehicle. The friction point in a manual tranny is the clutch and that is where the heat will build up.

these things get real hot! I have a cooler on mine that turns on at 200 deg.

The ZF manuals do get really hot. In a Ford, they come with a cooler.
