Ok Michael, I have had my GS back off to listen for something similar to your noise, and my conclusion is because it sounds like metal to metal "tick tick tick " it is coming from the cam that rotates and moves the fork in and out and down to advance the film through the gate. Get a torch and look toward the shutter and look to see if any grease is here at all, and using the described method with the wood/screwdriver place it close to the cluster of screws and frame in that area just above the flywheel. I have a theory on the reason it sounds noisy going forward and not in reverse, I think all the grease has been pushed in one direction, so when you place it in reverse the grease is backed up the other side of the of the cam lobe?. If you open the GS up on the control side it has a swing out gate, rotate the shutter by hand in the forward motion, fork moving downward and make sure this is not hitting any side of the gate, it should clear the slot to one side of the gate and not hit anywhere, perhaps someone has tried to adjust this and miss adjusted this, certainly don't put any film through it until you have at least checked this, you don't need any mechanical knowledge of the GS to see this, just a bright light and a magnifying glass.
