Foot change spindle
Foot change spindle for the chaincase/gearbox shift linkage, cataloged 1976-1980.
57-7003 is the foot change spindle listed under CHAINCASE AND CHAINS in the parts books, showing up across catalog entries from 1976 to 1980. This is the shaft that carries the gear change lever's motion into the gearbox selector mechanism, letting a rider work the pedal to shift gears.

The catalog title on file for this same part calls it a left-hand shift shaft, which lines up with the era it covers -- left-side foot shift became the norm on Triumphs by the mid-to-late 1970s. Beyond that, our record doesn't give dimensions, thread specs, or material, so if you're matching this against what's on your bench, bring the old spindle in or call ahead so we can confirm it's the right one before you order.
Because it lives where the chaincase and gearbox meet, wear on this spindle usually shows up as sloppy or inconsistent shifting rather than an obvious break. Worth checking the bushing or seal it rides in at the same time, though we can't speak to those specifics for this listing.
Sorry if we got something wrong here. If you think this information isn't correct, .
