Could be loading motor plastic coupler located on the motor shaft under the worm slippng if split. Is a fault code displayed?

There do not seem to be any problems with the loading, I've checked all codes and none are displayed and all follow the correct sequence when loading a tape. If a tape is inserted, it will load and wait next instruction, if this is FF or REW, the tape unloads to the cassette (as normal) but then nothing happerns. If when loaded the next instruction is to play, then it will for 4-5 seconds then stops, and will not do anything but unload and eject. It's got me.......
Do you still think it could be the loading motor? if so please help, or recommed anything else you may of heard of.

Many thanks.
