How hot does manual tranny get? Rear main seal problems??
Quick question for you guys w/ a manual, I noticed mine after driving 20 or 30 miles is pretty hot to the touch to where I can barely hold my hand to the gearbox. Is this normal? My fluid level is fine. I have an 86 SAS 4Runner 22RE pushing 36's.
Also, I was thinking my rear main may be going out, it only leaks bad when I cut the engine off, with the engine running it doesn't leak much at all. Is this a tale-tale sign of a rear main? I was hoping for an oil pan gasket, but its leaking by the tranny engine block interface and I cannot tell if its from the pan.
Thanks for the help!

Regarding the output seal, you will probably see oil all over everything near the rear of the t-case, including the underside of the body. Mine used to leak because it would get sprayed out onto other things, and then drip down from there a few minutes after I parked the truck.
