Gearbox/clutch drama

I'd check my oil level/pressure/age before being too hasty with a sale!! If it makes you feel any better, mine gave no real warning that there was a problem

The disappointing thing about the matter is that I have babied this bike since new ,5000klm oil (Fuchs Silkolene 10w40w Ester synthetic )and filter changes good quality moly grease in the final drive splines oil changed in bevel box at every 10000Kls ,K&N Air filter( Regularly recharged using genuine recharging kit) in fully sealed OEM standard air box, never thrashed or laboured in the gears,plugs changed at 20000Klm and valve clearances checked as per schedule ect ect,and now at 46000Klms it looks like it is about to **** its self, I will put it in the back of the shed and ponder my next move, I am too old and cranky to be jiggered around when I don't have to be, I may just give piggy a shake and find a new ride
 
there's a good video on you tube triumph rocket 3 radiator and clutch removal by benny kimchi, should help you
 


From my finger (output shaft): 1st/5th/4th/3rd/2nd ... The one on the end of the output is the helical drive gear to the drive shaft assembly/torsional damper.

I don't mean to sound like an a*hole but if your mechanic couldn't work that out by gear sizes alone are you confident in his ability to do the job?
 

It always amazes me how such a relatively massive set of gears can be so fragile
 


Given the recent transmission issues that have been documented here I've been researching after market parts that might help us all in our rebuilds.

Above is a selection of new and improved shifting forks that I think are more suited to our box than the originals. My local dealer doesn't share my enthusiasm and refused to send my find to Triumph Australia...he's now out of business...karma?

When I look at them I think they ridiculously small compared to all the other parts around them...perspective is a funny thing
