lots of info on this forum about the dreaded 2300cc tranny. I traded mine in with just over 20k because shifting into first sounded like a hammer hitting an anvil.

mine has sounded like that for 60,000 when it goes in soft i always recheck it might pop out of 1st.

Well chit! This has been an interesting read, from start to end. Some good info. And I fear the 2015 engine, that I have in my 06 chassis, is developing the dreaded "slipped" snap ring thing. Shifts fine, no popping out of any gear, BUT sometimes when just cruising along, in 5th gear, a slight let off on the throttle, freeing everything up, I get a slight noise and light feel of gears trying to mesh. Kinda like if you slowly engage first gear from neutral. From what I've read here over the years, that snap ring problem usually winds up with a totally locked up rear wheel ??? SCARY

Not good... the sound of gears grinding when you aren't shifting, would scare the heck out of me... Sounds like something is floating. Is there any way to check statically for a "slipped" snap ring? Shift lever travel? Rocking the bike in 4th?

I would stop riding it. The first thing I would do is pull the front cover on the engine and check the detent spring. That's probably not going to be the problem, but I would rule it out before removing the entire engine.

Raining today, but when I can, I'm going to jack the rear up, and run it through the gears etc. etc. and try to further diagnose the noise. What a beech. The original engine on this 05 ran great, but had the stupid little bolt come out of the shift arm thing..... Now this, maybe a little snap ring loose.....
NOT GOOD TRIUMPH.
