Gears not engaging, after being rough with the gear shifter.

never happened to me but do not like thinking about a rocket transmission tearing up.
i think most buy a used engine or another bike to get the parts
good luck on what you find wrong.

agree with you 100%, I am silently crying looking for the parts, a engine stand and a garage, only because I went like viking to the pedal shifter

I mean, a great way to learn for sure.

thanks man, I will keep you updated

Might be the infamous gear change actuator bolt, that the Triumph factory tech put the threadloc on the wrong end of, after loosening

praying to the triumph gods that this bolt is the problem, the rattling sound is so loud so maybe its not the problem

Definately going to be a project in any case. If the actuator bolt is loose then you'll need to get into it big time.

thanks for the info man, luckily open the engine don't look that bad

Can I ask what’s the best way/place to buy the gears, and what else I’ll need for the job? I’ve tools (torque wrench and others) and a working brain, but I don’t have an engine table or a garage.

I don't recommend you take the motor into the living room. First I'd ask your friends if they have some garage space you can use. Since you're going to have to pull the motor you might see if anyone has fabricated an engine stand and see what that entails (I noted in the video the engine case was in a wood frame). Before you buy stuff you may not need, first disassemble and find the root cause of the shifting problem. Then carefully inspect the rest and replace anything worn and broken AFTER you know what's needing fixed. You could be buying gears and parts when the only thing needs done is torquing a bolt and adding a daub of loctite when you get in there.
