1967 Triumph T100C: PT 3 "The TARANTULA!" GEARBOX REASSEMBLY - Barn Find Desert Sled

[@vegasuperstar6]

I love these vids. I feel like I’ve gone to a t100c rebuild course! Thanks

[@weemsmotorco]

Going along nicely!

[@suzukisav]

Great video! It's tricky to film a gearbox build.

[@Channelizer1970]

Doing the same exact thing to a t100r. Having an issue getting the spindle out the cover, will not budge. Cotter pin is removed.

[@vorhese]

Well, I don't think there's much more you can do than heat, penetrating oil, and patience.

[@johnykryll]

Never new these gearboxes came out without a split. Why can't all gear boxes be like this?

[@vegasuperstar6]

When reinstalling the outer cover in your last step part of your video. What gear is the cam plate in. It looks like nuetral. Could you let me know what gear the cam plate should be in when you slip the cover on. I can’t find anything in my manual. Thanks

[@vegasuperstar6]

I have a 69 t100c with the same engine trans. I just replaced my kickstarter return spring and spacer and spring holder washer. . Is there a trick to getting this to all sync up right when I reinstall the cover. Mainly what is the position or what gear should the camplate be in! Thnks

[@daveco1270]

Thanks for shooting all of this. Is the loc-tite keeping all the oil in? I don't have a 500 but I still like to see how it all goes together. It seems like a lot of it is similar to the 650s which is what I have. Why did you decide against splitting the cases? All I hear about from Triumph guys is getting that darn sludge trap cleaned out if you're going to go into an engine. 34:04 is where I would jam the screwdriver into my thumb and begin to bleed.

[@vorhese]

It IS true about the trap, but I think you can roll the dice on instinct. I dont think this bike really has that many miles on it.

[@JR-bj3uf]

@@vorhese I have a 1966 T100 that I purchased as a basket case. I deduced that the engine tied up after a rebuild due to the crank not being cleaned out. On Triumph engine builds you have to split the cases and clean out the crank. If I purchased the prettiest low mileage, pre-1978 Triumph I would do nothing with it until I had the crank out and cleaned. I have built many many Triumph engines (I was a Triumph dealership mechanic back in the 80s) and every one of them had a packed up sludge trap. Do not roll the dice. You will lose. I have pictures of my T100 crank. i.imgur.com/XDFGsTC.jpg

[@vegasuperstar6]

What gear does the transmission have to be in when you slide the cover back on? Thanks

[@vorhese]

That's the beauty of this trasnmission, once you have all the gears on, it's set. If you watch at 27 min, I put it in.

[@vegasuperstar6]

Another question! When you slip the gear kickstart cover back on is there a gear or position the cam should be in like 1st or neutral. And does the case hold the entire kickstart washe spacer and spring in place.. after winding the spring and looking at the design it seems they could have designed it a bit better. Thanks

[@bosshogg9758]

Hey, i have a odd question haha. I also have a 67 t100c. I just took the outer cover off to inspect the internals. My manual said to place it in 4th gear before removal. Now trying to put the cover back on it will NOT come out of 4th gear...... any reasons why? Its my first time owning and working on a vintage triumph so im just confused.

[@vorhese]

I didn't do that haha. But again mine was seized. Obviously something isn't lined up right.

[@ant4812]

Dude, you haven't softened that copper washer at 14:00 - you just hardened it. What you did there was quench it. That makes metal hard. If you want to anneal something you let it cool down slowly.

[@vorhese]

Actually that's not true. But this is how I was taught. I think the next video I specifically say I stop doing this.

[@therobots7711]

Not for copper, there is no phase change on cooling. The only difference with quenching copper is that the oxide layer will fall off from the sudden shrinking. You can remove the oxide layer easily anyway. Steel will definitely become brittle though if it's heated and quenched.
