Hey John,
It's not the correct fix of course, but why don't you try my trick of =
shimming out the slave cylinder with two stacks of washers. You need =
about a half inch of shim, shouldn't need longer bolts but maybe. I'm =
telling you it worked for me for years, until I had the internal fork =
issue fixed. As I said before (not trying to be a know-it-all) but =
there's no way this symptom is related to the oil level. The oil doesn't =
get up to the clutch plate. You can't get it into gear because it's =
spinning, not because it's low on oil.=20
Now, I didn't have a broken fork pin, so the shims may not help, but =
worth a try. You're going to have to get the tranny pulled to replace =
that fork pin. I'm not certain, but I believe working once, and then =
back to the same problem, is a big indication of the fork pin being =
sheared. It slips back around to the correct spot and works once, and =
then it's out of alignment again and doesn't work at all.=20
The biggest advice I can give you is this. Fix the Maxima! A Triumph =
doesn't like being counted on as primary transportation. They can tell. =
Ever wonder why everybody you meet at a gas-station 'used' to have one?
good luck,
Sloane :)
