Start with easy stuff...get some lithium grease and grease the tracks and pivot points. If no improvement. Look at transmissions as they have plastic gears and my have lost a tooth or two. Easy DYI. You can get used parts and save a few $$ if needed.

yes...grease. if you inspect the transmissions, drivers side has a microswitch in it, make sure you keep the timing right or your fixing the sync.
eBay is the place to get gears for a reasonable price, (40 bucks, so not reasonable) they seem OK but check the feedback. Some folks making them aren't doing a good job, judging from reviews.
I would skip getting used ones as the issue is old plastic getting brittle, so why buy old plastic?
