The shifter lever on my Sherman step-up/down (12 speed) gets really warm after it has been running in 1st gear low. Is this normal?

Repeat as per below....NO, this is NOT 'normal'. Make certain you have the correct amount of lube in your regular transmission/rear end. If so, you have a bearing problem that needs attention NOW, B4 you end up burning up an irreplacable part. I do have SOME parts for the 'Combos', BUT NOT ALL. Caution...

Listen to Dell. He is right on the mark and bright as a new penny!

I don't know if you can even check the Sherman oil level with it in the tractor. And you have to split the tractor to take it out. Anybody remember if you can do a finger check on the level accessing it from the weep hole port on the bottom of bell housing? If not how about by taking off the steering column?

You might have a bad bearing in the Sherman causing excess friction, thus excess heat.

fordie..... ..NO it is NOT NORMAL. The Sherman is "splash-lubed" thru the tranny opencaged front main bearing by the front tranny gear oil slinger. It OVER-FILLS the Sherman during normal operation which then drains-back when you turn yer engine OFF. Which is why you never have to change Sherman tranny oil. Isn't that clever? Of course, you have to have oil in yer main tranny too for it to work.

Iff'n yer absolutely certain that yer main tranny oil level is full, then yer gonnna be fixing/overhauling yer Sherman. Iff'n yer main tranny oil level is LOW, then yer gonnna be overhauling BOTH yer Sherman and main tranny. Gearboxes depend upon oil for COOLING..... ..Dell

I have never noticed a temp increase either. I do shift up to mid range speeds often enough that I would notice if the lever is hot to the touch.

Ford:

I nearly always operate my Sherman in low range and do not notice any abnormal temperature rise in the shifter handle nor any difference in handle temperature respective to other ranges.
