No,the motor-gearbox mechanism is sealed. You`ll probably need new motor brushes which you can get from a dealer or a new motor and/or gearbox.

Grinding noise in honda odyssey while driving. intermittent. sometimes when driving on a slight incline and slight turns. sometimes the gas pedal doesn't work and speed reduces

if you hear grinding noise while driving, it usually comes from your brake or tires touches fender liner, if noise remains constantly, may be from a pulley bearing.
For your case, check front tires, turn it right and left to the max, check if it touches anything; if not, check the brake, a nearly worn pad will expose its metal part, it will contact the rotor and makes noise.

Grinding noise in either motor, gearbox or drive shaft on low speed going uphill. Gets worse when going faster. Souns like something needs oil change or top-up.

Look at the universal joints on the 2 ends of the drive shaft. The hubs may have dried up and wore out you might be grinding metal. If so, you need to replace the universal joints before the drive shaft falls out.

Cuisinart stand mixer making grinding noise. What is it and are there directions for fixing/replacing it?

inside those mixtures there is grease or oil to keep the gears running smoothly. look on your counter or where it is stored and look for grease or oil. if there is then your best bet is to find a repair shop. ask where you got it from, they should be able to hlp.

Makes a grinding noise at higher speeds

If it is leaking you are going to have to go inside the gearbox to change the grease so whatever is wrong inside may become obvious when you take it apart. Remove accessory cap from the front and look for any dryish grindings inside there.

Grinding gearbox

Check the oil level ,if need be pump some LM grease into the gearbox about a GREASE GUN FULL will do this will seal up any leaks once its warm and melts in a bit ,the noise was the lay shaft bearings or the drive gear shaft bearings to the crownwheel ,faily common on peugeots and citreons but make sure you check the level use EP90

Question regarding KitchAid mixer, Model K45ss. The vertical mixer shaft has play in the gearbox, it makes worn gear noises at all speeds. I adjusted the speed control to manual specs, the speed control...

Yes this indeed does sound like you have a problem. There could be a couple different cause of this noise. If your main drive or worm gear has been damaged, it is likely to not run at all or jam up. So i think this is not the problem. There is however a codder pin located inside the transmission gears this can be seen by removing the upper housing of the unit, and then exposing the oil and gears. clear away the oil surrounding the gears, and save this grease for later. After this you should be able to visually see this codder pin AND the gears, rotate the gears while inspecting them and the pin. If the pin is slightly bent or broken this will make the grinding noise that your are talking about, while still operating and driving the unit. part number for the codder pin is 9705444. If however the noise is coming from the motor area this could indicate a worn or faulty motor bearing. This can cause the motor to operate on an angle and can cause a rubbing noise from the cooling fan or the winding of the motor itself rubbing on the mixer housing. Part number for the braket and bearing is 3180526. both are relatively cheap and easy to replace. If you find and fix the problem be sure to inspect or change the oil as this can often have metal chunks and other particles. Hope this Helps

Thanks

Asko T780 Dryer Vibrating/Grinding noise

Sounds like a bad roller. You'll have to remove the drum to get at them. Even a free one may make noise at speed. Use high temp grease. Also check roundness. And don't forget the belt tensioner roller, just don't get any grease where the belt touches.
