I'm not sure I read you correctly. If the idler gear does not switch
reliably from the supply hub to the take-up hub, then the problem is bad
lubrication on the center shaft of the idler assembly. It's been a while
since I've seen one, but there's a slit-washer or some other retainer set in
a scored "groove" on the metal shaft. Using a small pick or some such, the
retainer can be removed and re-used, but there is a chance that it will be
more prone to failing later. For this reason it's important not to damage
the retainer. When the retainer comes off, that's when the spring-loaded
parts tend to go flying, and then you'll be guessing as to their
re-assembly.
You shouldn't have to mess with the actual felt clutch portion.
