Re: Another Shifter

[Steven Kohlscheen <steven.kohlscheen@xxxxxxxx>]

I have to warn you guys that changing to the one piece(T5) shifter is not a
Triumph recomended change.  The 'retrofit' mentioned in the instructions it
comes with is for T5's only, Speed Triples and Daytonas.  Yes it will work
for Sprints, but I feel we need to have the story straight, it's a
coincidence that it works.  If you don't feel comfortable with the one piece
go back to stock and carry a spare.  They don't normally fail like that,but
you are the second one I know of.

Well it looks like you mark up another shifter replacement. The other
morning on
the way in to work I went to down shift for a turn and the connecting rod
snapped
at the end of the threaded section, on the end connected to the shifter fork
shaft. The dealer is going to replace it under warrantee with the single
piece
unit.

Thanks to Paul Wilson for posting the part number from your Americade outing
experience. It made things very easy in dealing with this issue over the
phone.
Now if we can have it shipped to the house so I don't have to truck it into
Boston. A two hour round trip, on a good traffic day, for a 5 minute job.
