are they pitted ? need also to look at the opposite number with which they engage see how they are.
The M18 x 1 shaft thread could do with a gentle clean up too.

No pitting Lee, and the opposite number side thingys have hardly any wear at all.

Seen a lot worse than that and still in use. Why the shafts & bearings so rusty. Have they been rescued from the Thames.

They look ok to me if no there is no pitting or chipping which is what usually happens.
I'm concerned about the big open cage bearing though, It will need a thorough clean out before putting it back.

Cheers Sam, yeah, I think the engine it belonged to musta been left without the side covers on in at some point in it's previous life, it's only the ends that have rust.
Lee, I've just spun the axle and it was a tad rough. Shouldn't be a problem for the intended new owner as he's basically only after the 3rd gear cogs. That said, it may not even be a problem once it's cleaned an loobed.

Cheers mr Grumpee good to know what state they get to when they're failing.
Does anyone know if these dogs can be rebuilt/re-profiled ?
Not very warm out is it Matt ?
So it'll be next weekend, or beyond, afore I get the 3D jigsaw delivered then ? Suits me better if it is actually.

This will provide a good reference point for TDM owners. I have had to replace three EXUP gearboxes that would jump out of second gear.They are no where near that bad on the dogs!! I'll have mine out at some point this week so will know what a bad one looks like.
The wear on the dogs and recesses was barely perceptible, but I was able to cure the problem in every case.
ThisCheers mr Grumpee
Thanks Studders. I liked the commentary the author gave too. These are defo fooketyfooked

Ha yeah, I read the commentary but couldn't help thinking some pocket-rocket clutchless gearshifts mighta also been a contributing factor.
How did you go about curing the problem ?

Biting the bullet and replacing three x 2 complete shaft assemblies that I knew were reliable, as I didn't want to have to go back inside again.Ha yeah, I read the commentary but couldn't help thinking some pocket-rocket clutchless gearshifts mighta also been a contributing factor.

A parts guy at Fowlers was feeling generous and had a load of surplus rotary Norton F1 gearboxes = FZR1000. Super cheap at £125.00 complete. Should have bought the lot. Doh! Those were the days. Trevor Nation, Rocket Ron.
The others I sourced from blown ThunderAce engines, the gearboxes of which were much improved.
I recommend you replace the entire shebang when it comes to second hand kit.. Shafts,selector barrel,forks as they are a matching fit.
I don't know whether dogs can be rebuilt, but I'm guessing that given the stresses and that everything has to be a perfect match, then odds are they can't, economically.
If you could find a totalled/lo-mileage/spares/repairs TDM with a history and keep the collection/total costs below £150-£175 I'd take that route.

The ones on the pink towel are shagged but I still say Studleys are just normal wear and tear & have life in them yet.

If he knows they worked before they were removed from the crankcase then I'd agree.The ones on the pink towel are shagged but I still say Studleys are just normal wear and tear & have life in them yet.
Like I've said earlier, terminal wear on an FZR gearbox is invisible compared to the example here and Studders unit.
I wonder how bad it can get on a TDM before it does the jumping out of second thing?
That's why we need photos as soon as a faulty gearbox is removed.

Is it possible that the FZR also had a bent fork selector contributing to the problem ? It'd explain why they slip but don't show much wear. 
But yeah, ideally a photo of an 'only just started slipping' cog would be good.

Or worn channels in the gear selector barrel. Hence best policy, get a complete good'un to make allowances for wear. (Wear)ever it may be in the system.
Actually, now that I've mentioned it, you haz jogged my memory. My main issues in at least 2 cases were with the channels in the gear selector barrel. This just goes to show that a problem could be caused by wear at any point in the system. When you get there, I should scrutinize every component, like your bank balance depended on it.
