JVC HR-S7965 Super VHS video rewind & fast forward fault. HELP?

Help please. Hi I have the above VCR and all works great apart from tonight it started having trouble on rewind and fast forward when I put and old tape in it. when pressing the FF OR RW fast it sounds like something is slipping real bad and making a terrible grinding whirring noise then shuts off. I put my normal HQ SVHS tapes back in but it is still doing it. If I press the play button then fast forward it goes ok in search mode both ways no prob (just takes ages to rewind though) only when it dissengages from the head drum in fast rewind or forward mode it starts off ok then as the reals start to spin it slips and make the horrible noise. I cant go without my VCR I have a large collection of tapes so any help would be great. I have basic electronic servicing skills but am not great on the mechanical side of VCR'S.

    I don't know...it's really hard to tell because I've made really bad mistakes that I'd want to restart over but if I do restart over, I'd be afraid to get different friends and be a different person Let's say I'd rewind it...to the beginning of 7th grade because that's when I changed school and I wish I was more outgoing from the beginning I lost a best friend too, a little more than exactly a year ago :( Man he was the best ever, but I was going through a rough time and...idk I was dumb. I regret it so much :( BQ1: Do you have a favorite pen? staedtler triplus fineliner. Too detailed? haha BQ2: Favorite song? fireflies atm BQ3: Do you wish at 11:11? when I see it
