I had a batch of links to LJIII printer repair, but all but one are now
dead. Have you run across this one?

My old LJIII has started jamming again (13 PAPER JAM) and I am stuck
figuring out what the problem is.

The paper either stops right before the transfer assembly roller, or a
bit before the fuser. If it passes the rollers a loop tends to form
between the pickup roller and transfer roller and sometimes it starts
feeding a second sheet. I don't see why it feeds a second sheet since
the engine test is only one page. The paper feed mechanism seems to
have gotten noisier as well, but I can't figure out the source of the
noise.

What I have tried so far (based on Google searches and previous repairs):
- Checked and cleaned pickup roller and separation pad (Fairly new,
printer not used a lot).
- Cleaned transfer rollers (These were filthy)
- Checked all gears for missing teeth
- Tried another toner cartridge
- Disassembled, cleaned and greased clutches on pickup and transfer
roller shafts (Grease was gunked up)
- Cleaned gummed up pads on clutch solenoids (Temporarily replaced pads
with tape until I can find something better)
- Checked drive motor connector
- Cleaned gears attached to motor (Grease was gunked up)

Have I missed anything obvious or is it time for a new(er) printer?
