I took the machine a part and it appears the Drive Pulley does not fit snugly into the gears of the Mode Shaft. Is that normal? The sound appears to be the Drive Pulley and Mode Shaft gears knocking each time it changes directions. I don't know what the Drive Pulley looks like new, but it does not appear cracked or damaged. Is this a Drive Pulley problem, Mode Shaft, or something different? Thanks.
