Are you good at taking apart small mechanisms without letting parts get away 
and noting how it all has to go back 
together? If not, you may not want to try it.

I seem to recall that there is a spring and ball bearing detent mechanism that 
clicks into slots on the speed ring, and 
gunk there is a likely cause of the problem, but I'd check the manual on Mark's 
site first.
