Lots of cleaning and lubing, and I have an antique that's like new. Side Note: I rebuilt my first Mitchell spinning reel this weekend! Woo Hoo! It and an Abu Mitchell rod from the local pawn shop were $10.00. But certainly no smoking gun compared to others without this noise. Removing the lip, lubricating, and installing the C-clip was a dramatic improvement.
The new cog wheel was stubborn from the supplier, but functional. The only thing I know to do at this point is to replace the worm gear but, I feel like I'm just shooting in the dark. The worm gear housing is solid as a rock. There is a pressure spring under the pawl, that when replaced, reduced the side to side movement of the line guide. Significantly better with the new side plate, but still noisy as hell. The noise was present before swapping out the side plate. The Pawl appears to be virtually identical to others in my other reels with respect to condition. The work gear itself moves ~1 - 1.5 mm from side to side.
