It may just be wear in the
It may just be wear in the roller and pinion bearings causing meshing issues but you should be aware that back when the Balmoral was introduced there was a meshing problem caused by chassis flexing which was addressed by the addition of a tie rod and two reinforcing plates.

There is an internal gear
There is an internal gear inside the rear roller, this is driven by a smaller gear through the frame side, this smaller gear and/or the large gear are damaged. It also likely to stop driving before long.
