William. a non O/D gearbox costs $500 for a rebuild.I believe all parts
are readily available, but I would urge you to seek out a Triumph
specialist. It is very hard to do these boxes correctly so they last. A
regular transmission shop will botch it up- been there, done that. If
you have O/D send it all as a unit as you may have metal shavings in it-
mine did and my problem was like yours. Good luck, Stu
