I'm not sure that it is the rewind mechanism that is the problem. It seems more likely to be the clutch mechanism of the wind on lever is slipping. To test that you need to hold the take up spool that the film winds on to and then operate the wind on lever. If that shows signs of slipping then there are 2 things, the clutch slipping or the gears are loose and jumping out of mesh temporarily.

I think it is a case of opening the back and seeing if it all works by putting light pressure on the take up spool and the toothed spindle to see what happens. The other thing to check is whether the rewind button has not been accidentally operated as this would release the clutch and disengage the wind on.
