Don't forget the thrust washers on the TRs, which John/Quantum Mechanics
specifically mentions as a weak point.

The legend as it was passed to me says that Triumph switched back to
recommending gear oil, in order to reduce warranty returns for thrust washer
problems.

But there again, the problem only shows if you drive it like a sports car,
instead of like a museum piece.
