## Discrepancy

THE CONTROL WHEELS STUCK IN THE FULL RIGHT AILERON POSITION.  THE RIGHT AILERON AND FLIGHT SPOILERS WERE FULLY EXTENDED.  *S/D*  THE TRANSFER MECHANISM (P/N: 65-54200-15) WAS FOUND TO HAVE RECENT WITNESS MARKS ON THE LOWER BEARING HOUSING WHICH SUGGESTS THE JAM OF THE LATERAL SYSTEM WAS CAUSED BY A PIECE OF FOD CAUGHT BETWEEN THE LOST MOTION ARM AND THE LOWER BEARING HOUSING.  THE SUBJECT TRANSFER MECHANSIM WAS REMOVED AND A SERVICEABLE TRANSFER MECHANISM WAS INSTALLED.
