The bushings are a weakness in HP fusers as of late. The bushings create movement and vibration, which damages the gears. I believe this is the problem behind the HP 42XX/43XX series machines need for swing plate assemblies, too.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
I wasn't a beleiver on this too simple fix...but BlackCat4866 set me straight..and what shocked me even more...he was correct it works!!
You never realize how cheap a professional is until after you let an amateur do it.... and
if this was an easy thing to do then everybody would be doing it! But it isn't and they are not!!
Also the idea Prntrfxr has about fuser bushings and swing arm failures is a very interesting observation....have to look into this one and try changing the bushings on a target few and compare over the next few months...thanks for the idea!!

Could it have something to do with the fact that this is basically the same drive train as the HP4, yet instead if turning at 10 ppm its turning at 45 ppm? Hey, HP! Maybe it's time for bearings.
Mita figured this out on the DC-1656/2155/3055. Fuser bushings work OK up to 21 ppm, but at 30 ppm they just didn't last. A bearing mod was required.
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

I'll have to get a core and see what size bearings I can rig up!
Post the pix. I can sort-of picture it in my mind already ... =^..^=

Working on this....we will see what I can come up with!
