Hi, I have a similar problem. Unfortunately the link from 2007 mentioned above doesn't work anymore. My counter dial moves when I cock the lever but jumps back when I fire the camera. Did you ever solve this issue?

Thank you for the advice. I'm not on Facebook yet. I think I was able to better locate the noise. It seems to be related to the right spool that holds the film. If I block this when tensioning, the noise is no longer present.

Hello dear community, I am new here in the forum, however, already longer silent reader in some Threads, since I have started a few months ago with the analog photographing. I got myself a Canon AE1 Program and I really enjoy it. Now I got the same camera for my wife. This one had the famous "cough" and triggered right after cocking. So, camera disassembled and mirror housing lightly oiled according to instructions of a service pdf from Learncamerarepair. In addition, I cleaned the magnetic surfaces, so that this also works again. After reassembly, however, I noticed that there is a strange noise during film transport (tensioning). This sounds like a zipper that you quickly pull closed (I hope the description is sufficient so). I did not have this les noise with my previous Canon. The noise is coming from the body of the camera, not the mirror housing. I suspect near the small plastic gears. I carefully applied some oil (Nyoil) to the cogs as best I could, but unfortunately this did not improve the situation. Does anyone know the problem, or does anyone know where exactly to locate it? Kindest regards
