I vacuumed out some toner that had collected below the gears and then applied some lubricant to the bushings. After reassembling it and running a bunch of test sheets, there WERE NO WRINKLES!
I did discover a small crack in the large nylon cylinder on the end of the secondary transfer roller, and will probably have to replace that (i'm not sure of it's function), but it is working just fine right now.
I have already submitted a donation, which I encourage everyone to do. This kind of help sure saves money rather than calling in a copy repair person. So let's all give something back to show appreciation to the people who share their time and expertise helping us diagnose a problem.
