So here we are, two months and $5500 later, I have a fully functioning rocket with a brand new tranny. Turns out one of the gears was completely destroyed and sent shards into the rest of the transmission to be ground into a metallic pulp. It was a complete rebuild. I wish I could say I did it myself, but being gone for 6 of the past 8 weeks, I decided to turn it over to a triumph dealer and let them handle it so I could at least have it done this year. Anyway, rode it home today and plan to ride it for the foreseeable future as long as there isn't ice on the ground.
