Here is how you fix it….

Take out any cogs that are surplus to the three main centre ones.  I took out the three with crosses on them.

I have just done this today.  When I first tried the modified Ipod Car Cassette Adaptor in my car, I needed to fiddle around with the Rewind and Forward button to stop the tape from playing on the side that makes it noisy.  Once I got the tape to play the other side, all was sweet.  It’s a little louder without those minor cogs, but I usually listen to music at a level that covers this noise so not a worry for me.

I would like to thank Fallenposters who posted this tip on www.metafilter.com under the title “My Cassette Adapter is Flipping (haha) Annoying…”

Ps, I use an ipod car cassette adaptor with my Belkin FM Ipod adaptor – I need both because in Auckland the Ipod FM Transmitters don’t work because there are no free FM stations free, as the laws here are really loose so lots of geeks transmitting crap out into the air.

Hope this helps, please comment and let me know if you find this and it does help?

Also I will let you know how my modified Car Cassette Ipod Adaptor is going after a few weeks of use… if it craps out I will let you know asap.
