Yeah, like I was saying,  since I had both of these units torn apart at the same time, I probably swapped things around.  Unfortunately, this may complicate things.  I think if I open the other one up I’ll be able to get a better idea of what’s going on.   I’m not opposed to spending a little more money on, say, a matched set of gears, if that’s what it’s going to take to make this right, but hopefully I’ll get lucky and figure out a cheaper fix.  My wife just got a very expensive puppy for her birthday.  I have my own needs.
