$2800 ?!?!?! That's obscene.
Triumph Australia did mine under warranty when I was out of warranty as a goodwill gesture.

It's about 3 hours work. Not hard, but there are a couple of mods you can do and other things to check while you are there.

Replace the clutch fibers with MTC plates. Replace the clutch springs with heavier duty springs. Replace the lifting mechanism if it is one of the old ones. Replace the lifting mechanism spring with an external spring as per warp9.9's mod.

Bloke I know from Sydney got swindled by someone down there .. he was told the engine had to come out to replace the spring. I did try to tell him ( photocopied the pages from the Workshop manual and posted them to him) .. he ignored my advice .. $2,800 later he had a new spring.
