I disassembled, cleaned the drive, and greased it with a light bodied type of grease. The rotation of either the fast or slow shaft was fairly rough, streching the tension spring per the service tip did not help. I took it apart, cleaned, and regreased it with heavier wheel bearing grease, which very much improved the feel, much smoother. Is there a certain type of grease recommended, or found to work best in this drive?
Thanks Hank
