There you are you old Six Pack!!As shared with Triumphs list: ?I thought I =
had the silver bullet today. ?I had read what type transmission oil to use.=
Had a couple ideas working. ?One was go to NAPA and get the oil. ?I did wit=
h the nicecounterman help find a Quart of SAE 80W90 and a pretty cool hand =
pump that would pump it upthrough the drain hole. ?I found a hose to which =
I wrapped the right amount of tape so this tubewent into the hole without l=
osing a drop. ?Generally, I got the entire quart in the gearbox with very l=
ittlespillage. ?I couldn't wait to fire the beast up and run through the ge=
ars. ?Which I did. ?The first go?through went like BUTTER. Then I took it o=
ut of gear eased up on the clutch and went back to square 1No entry into th=
e holy 4speed. ?Took a look at the clutch master and I could see dark fluid=
. So, I guess?my next purchase will be new gaskets. ? Do I need more fluid =
in the transmission? ?I still can't getthe bolt out where I could see it's =
being topped off. ? Hey
? Jacksonville guys, any hands on helpwould be greatly appreciated.. ?For e=
xample, my wife has two Dr. Appointments tomorrow. ?While at NAPAI picked u=
p the Haynes Repair Manual For '98 Maxima hoping to get a breakthrough clue=
about the?mysterious shut off switch.Hertz is getting rich off us. ?Anyway=
, I'll post this in the Six Pack also. ?The more the merrier.

Hey John,
It's not the correct fix of course, but why don't you try my trick of shimm=
ing out the slave cylinder with two stacks of washers. You need about a hal=
f inch of shim, shouldn't need longer bolts but maybe. I'm telling you it w=
orked for me for years, until I had the internal fork issue fixed. As I sai=
d before (not trying to be a know-it-all) but there's no way this symptom i=
s 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.
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 p=
in.? 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 a=
gain and doesn't work at all.
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 wond=
er why everybody you meet at a gas-station 'used' to have one?
good luck,
Sloane :)

he oil. ?I did with the nicecounterman help find a Quart of SAE 80W90 and a=
pretty cool hand pump that would pump it upthrough the drain hole. ?I foun=
d a hose to which I wrapped the right amount of tape so this tubewent into =
the hole without losing a drop. ?Generally, I got the entire quart in the g=
earbox with very littlespillage. ?I couldn't wait to fire the beast up and =
run through the gears. ?Which I did. ?The first go?through went like BUTTER=
. Then I took it out of gear eased up on the clutch and went back to square=
1No entry into the holy 4speed. ?Took a look at the clutch master and I co=
uld see dark fluid. So, I guess?my next purchase will be new gaskets. ? Do =
I need more fluid in the transmission? ?I still can't getthe bolt out where=
I could see it's being topped off. ? Hey<br>? Jacksonville guys, any hands=

pointments tomorrow. ?While at NAPAI picked up the Haynes Repair Manual For=
