If its associated with a grinding noise it's the nylon gear which has stripped. It's a very common problem

Personally, I like these gears better anyway - they are solid brass with no rubber bumper inside to disintegrate.

Unfortunately my web page is old and you can not add to the cart if you start on that particular page. You need to start at my home page www.rodneydickman.com and go from there it will add to the cart. I have my web page guy working on my new web page. Maybe by the beginning of next year my new web page will be up.
On the OEM rubber bumper failure problem. When I have my rubber bumpers made I have them make them out of the best quality rubber. Hopefully my rubber bumpers will have a much longer life than the OEM rubber bumpers.
