As I mentioned in a couple of other threads in RAP recently, the trim
jackscrew is very worn in our '74 Archer. The wear seems to be nearly half
of the thread depth. In other words, you can move the screw laterally
inside the drum about half of the height of a thread. ///

Phone round for an A&P that can do it immediately at a reasonable
price.
Before the delivery flight, apply the thickest grease you can find.
That will mitigate the bump load that is the way that the screw will
fail.
