I thought that too. My IA is particularly thorough on finding ADs on not only
the aircraft, but all the accessories, too.

IIRC, the AD against the Bendix mag impulse coupling is just to look for wear
on the catch pin, not the pivoting teeth and their associated pivot pin. What you
describe sounds like it could be that pivot point binding somehow... not part of the
AD (again, IIRC).
