Toyota Repair: 94 Toyota Pickup Transmission, toyota pickup, highway 65


Question
94 Toyota Pickup, SR5, 234K miles, 4WD, Manual 5spd.  When driving down highway (65-75 mph) for around 2 hrs. gear shift stick and 4wd stick get VERY hot to the touch.  Almost, too hot to touch with a bare hand.  What are some possible causes?  Thanks.

Answer
Peter,
First of all thank you for INCLUDING the vehicle, make, model, year, and miles, this information is very important to me ! About 95% of the
questions do not include these stats !

Sounds like one or both are low on lubricant, have them checked out.
If not, something is not lined up, or mounting bolts loose causing tension and stress.

Let me know what you find out.
