try this first ...
Take the rewind crank and turn it counterclockwise until it
comes off. Use a blade in the slot of the part that grabs the
film canister to stabilize things. From memory, there's a screw
under it that connects is to the shaft. Remove this (or whatever
separates the two) and thoroughly clean the shaft & its passage
w/ some sort of non-residual solvent. Reassemble and all should
be well again.
A very fine film of grunge can build up in there and mess up
the smooth turning of the shaft, causing symptoms you describe.
I got this tip from a fellow PDML'er years ago and it solved
my same dilemma.
