I followed Marian’s instruction and changed with the new gear but something I obviously wrong and I cannot figure out where this nasty clicking sound coming from. Any idea where this clicking is coming from?
Try rotating this with your finger and feeling with the other finger to feel for a click space or rough-ness and then go back and determine?
Haven't fixed a single DD myself, but agree with @Cassette2go Frequency of clicking seems to be the same as centerwheel rotation, when dot at 4 o'clock position it clicks. I would start with this also, maybe one screw or something a bit off?

So I guess one of the screws was not tight. Thanks for your help, problem resolved

Check the capstan rubber if it is greasy, clean it with a hard pencil rubber and alcohol. Check also the tension screw if it is to loose
I did and now works fine. Cleaned the capstan rubber with alcohol and right away problem solved. Thank you very much. By the way I would like to send you some D3 Walkman to repair for me.
