How do you adjust the gear shifter on a triumph?
I found it easier to adjust it when the rearset was removed, which is just two bolts by the way. Once the rearset is removed pop the rod off the output shaft lever and pull it through the hole from right to left. Make the adjustment then reinstall.
What to do when automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear?
Check the Throttle Cables. Changing the fluid solves plenty of transmission issues but if the problem of automatic transmission won’t shift into 3rd gear persists, the parts you should check are the throttle cables. A defective cable with excessive slack is likely to create issues with smooth shifting of the gears.

Why are the arm and shaft marked on a triumph?
The reason the arm and shaft are marked is because the gear position sensor (on the other end of the shaft usually) and the quickshifter need to work in harmony and just one spline out will upset it all and the left hand won’t know what the right hand is doing.
Why does the shift cable come off in my car?
My car has an automatic transmission. From what you’ve described, it sounds like the shifter cable came off at the transmission or the shifter. I’d suggest checking the shift linkage on the transmission to see if the cable came off. This is due to the connector end bushing falling apart and not being able to hold the cable on any longer.
What happens when you move the gear shift arm?
If you move the gear shift arm around the splines so that it is not at 90deg to the rod, the torque will change a bit as it will a lot more if you fitted a longer shift arm, which was what I was thinking about (and done before on something else). So I’ve learnt something today.

There is a hex screw that holds the arm on the shaft (which you can see in the photo). In order to ensure that the arm is in the correct place (not too close to the gearbox, and not too close to the end of the shaft) there is a cutout on the shaft into which a portion of the hex screw locates.

Bent gearchange shaft with transmission cover removed.
