Bollocks - Transmission failure.

Scott - Duly noted. Let surgery commence.
Adding nut, removing rubber thingy.
 
Chris, From my experience and it would appear that @bigprop suffered the same problem, World of Triumph have a huge list of parts but not all are on the shelf. They'll take the order online and then fail to deliver any parts missing. Might be a wise move to contact them prior to placing an order - might get discount if you are especially nice on the phone
 
I'll order via Triumph Spain if I can. If needs be via my mate who has a Guzzi workshop (ime here - B2B works well). I called Triumph and asked if there is any restriction on parts order. Was told no, and to tell the Madrid dealer we'd spoken. But I'd rather not piss the dealer off.

My big worry was needing the clutch tool - but now I know EBC does one - I have no qualms at all. That and Barnett is a real option.

Fowlers list the ruddy detent Spring as "backordered" - Grrrrr . I will see if I can think around the issue too once the chest is opened - maybe I can think up a compression spring detent rather than the rather iffy tension system. Guzzi detent (compression) is almost 40 years old and works fine.

@idk - I'd forgotten it was there mate - Ta!.

So then. We have been busy. But I've stopped as it's lunch time and I need a windy tool from my neighbour to get the big 30mm nut off.
I feel old and weak today - bite me!.

The only PITA was the chrome water pipe which was a real bugger to get out. Just tight

Rad off - I'll ditch the coolant as some muck fell in the bucket. Cover off. Oil looks OK - it was changed in April.



Lifter and shaft

I'm no expert (@warp9.9 ) - but that looks like the pre updated one.
A little polishing/wear on the lifter arm.

Inside basket halves

Only measured one friction plate so far - the innermost end one - 3.79mm
Steel plates look new.
The 5 basket bolts were actually on tighter than I expected - lightly more than tweaked.

So far no sign of any debris (including bits of spring).

My major delay was finding a lever to get the chrome pipe off - Oh and I had a mild panic when I thought I'd lost my alloy drift to get the case off.

 
Yes older lifter piece. Lifter shaft showing signs of burning which mean it has been metalurgically compromised. There pretty cheap like the lufter piece.

Not a good enough view to see the detent spring and you did not state if its broken. I guessing no? You should be able to see it with the basket on. But definelty with it off. And lets have a view of the detent wheel to see if its the updated smaller diameter roller bearing style with the short spring. (Number of coil wraps is different then the original. Of course 08 touring was the first to start suffering from breakage followed by all 09 rockets. Not saying anything just keeping track of things.

The chrome pipe just has a dry O-ring a straight screw driver and pop her out. Lube the O-ring before she goes in even if you just spit on it


A stuck cover sucks especially if you don't notice the tabs down by the water pum area for prying it loose. Like the ones Triumph designed on the sump pan


OH AND KEEP TRACK OF THE CORRECT ORIENTATION OF THE ANTI JUDDER SPRING AND SEAT!!!!!!!
