c451 making grinding noise when stabalizing

[mrushing]

When I power on the machine and it goes through its motion when it gets to stabalizing image I get a grinding noise for about 30 secs, then everything is ok, print is ok no jams no fiscal complications, just the grinding noise during stabalization, any suggestions????????

It may possibly be the transfer belt cleaning mechanism gears located at the left side of the machine where the transfer belt sits up against the side of the machine.

Thank you for the info, however I discovered it was with the cyan image unit, i had found a broken piece of plastic lodged between the drum and aparently that caused it to strip a gear, changed out the iu, noise went away.
