A service shop should be able to fix that for you, possibly just by polishing the gears. As noted above, the MX has pervasive reputation for rough film transport.

the feel does vary from each frame advancement, however it feels good if i just move the lever. i have seen reference to a "2 stroke" function, but i just move it solid all the way forward and back and it seems nice.

Almost as smooth as my voightlander vitomatic
