## Discrepancy

FLT 3240 - ON CLIMB-OUT FROM GFK, THE NOSE GEAR CONTINUED TO CYCLE AFTER GEAR RETRACTION.  THE CREW CYCLED THE GEAR FOUR TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED.  THE CREW LOWERED THE GEAR AND CONTINUED TO MSP WITH THE GEAR DOWN.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE UPLOCK HOOK SHAFT TO BE SLIGHTLY STIFF.  MAINTENANCE LUBED THE UPLOCK SHAFT.  ALL CHECKS SATISFACTORY DURING GEAR SWINGS.  (X)
