hi danny, nice to hear from you! tell your friend that the arrow is usually a quick fix, pop a new one on. its either the gear it is attached to or the inside of the unit has worn out. I would never reccomend rebuilding any TM. usually you can replace them with a warranty backed unit just as cheaply. built in obsolesence you know!! Wear em' out and replace them! 'i still subscribe to simpler is better, less to go wrong! don't have a clue who is working on them now, sorry. hope you have a great 2006, take care.
