Snatchy Rear End

I have had an intermittent problem for a couple of months. It is becoming more frequent and as a result, more worrying.

Under hard acceleration I get a split second loss of drive followed by the usual manic acceleration. It can happen as I start to accelerate or midway through racing through the rev range. It rarely happens during quarter throttle smooth acceleration, but it is not unknown.

At first I thought it was a momentary electrical glitch, but I am becoming convinced the splines are jumping. Is this possible and if so has anyone else had something similar?

Bare in mind, when I say hard acceleration, I mean fkn hard acceleration.

The bevel box is a sealed unit, Triumph won't let their dealers split em, so it's not like you can crack it open and have a squint.

I'm not sure if it is the rear, or some other part of the drive train.
