another transmission travelling east.


Well, Patrick, at least tis $2200 in that pretty Canadian moola and not in 'Merican greenbacks.

Just be thankful you are a rich retired airline pilot . . .

Seriously sorry to hear this.
You do not deserve all this tranny stuff - I happen to know that you prefer men's clothing!!!
Need a loan - the vig is only 100% every 90 days.

What does their transmission service set a guy back, if I may ask?

The work at Robertson’s, just for the back cutting was around $300. Without purchasing any gears. If you’re splitting the case it’s definitely worth it. I had a bent fork so thankfully didn’t have to replace any gears... this time.
 

What was the tell-tale with the transmission going bad? Noise, shifting, grinding?
 
I don't want to sound like a *****head but I have a 2010 Roadster and have never had any transmission issues.

I'm pretty hard on it popping wheelies, burn outs, etc...

Never had any clutch issues either... see a few members already go through some clutches on their newer model bike.

Is it operator error that the trans and clutches are going bad?

Or you think it's just the bike ... Triumphs fault?
 

I do that too but rarely. Never use the clutch for either. My clutch still looked good at 70,000 miles so I didn't replace anything. My gearbox failed due primarily to incorrect assembly of the circlips, either from Triumph, or who ever installed the update kit. Not sure what caused my output shaft bearing failure. The inner bearing was destroyed so badly, I couldn't even tell if it had been installed backwards.

as I mentioned before a very strong slapping noise felt through the footpegs in irregular fashion always under load from 2400 rpm in 4th and 5th I believe poor circlips mounting or failing as i found scores on the one between 4th and 5th
 

There is very well documented and established history of failure, they’re not the riders fault. It’s due to incorrect assembly at the factory, hell a triumph master tech got it wrong on my bike when fixing the factories **** up. Finally Carpenter racing got it right, so now, on my third set of gears in 11,000 miles the trans is flawless.

Most of these failed assembly issues have arrisen on 2012 and forward bikes.

Earlier bikes had different failure modes from incorrect assembly like bearings out in backwards, badly designed components etc. Someone working at Hinkley in 2012 until at least 2016 was screwing up spacers/c clips or installing bent shift forks.
