My monkey is normally up and goes up and down pretty fast. No, I am not making a sexual reference. It stays in the farthest upper left position and only moves down and to the right when it picks up the ball or upon powering up. When the game is powered off you should be able to spin the screw in either direction freely to slowly move the monkey up or down. To remove the upper left playfield I had to manually spin the screw to move the monkey down so the mech cleared.
Looking at your original French, I realize I misinterpreted the English translation which was less clear. The monkey should move fast up and down during gameplay. With the game turned off, spin the screw manually with your fingers left or right. It should move smoothly but slowly. Many turns of the screw by your fingers will move the monkey slowly. If the monkey is moving very slowly when the game is powered on but the screw turns smoothly by hand when not powered on I would go into test mode and test the motor and see if the problem is with the motor itself.
From top to bottom, it is fast.
But the bottom up, it is very slow
Du haut vers le bas, il est rapide.
Mais du bas vers le haut, il est très lent
I am having trouble with this pinside site. Will try to answer one last time.
In test mode with no pinball magnetically attached, the monkey mechanism should move smoothly close to the same speed top to bottom or bottom to top. With game power turned off and you spinning screw with your fingers either clockwise or counterclockwise monkey mechanism should move free and smoothly up or down at same speed. My guess is there is problem with the motor if the mechanism is smooth without power turning the screw by hand.
Sorry, I had trouble making myself understood and understand.
I'm from France and I do not speak English.
Playing the monkey normally goes down.
But it goes up very slowly.
Désolé, j'ai dû mal à me faire comprendre et à comprendre.
Je suis de France et je ne parle pas anglais.
En jouant, le singe descend normalement vers le bas.
Mais il monte vers le haut très lentement.
Before contacting support, I would like to know if the other woz the monkey up and down in the same way
Avant de contacter le support, j'aimerai savoir si sur les autres woz, le singe monte et descend de la même manière
My monkey does not move.
I'm talking about when it captures dorothée.
After catching the ball, monkey goes very slowly.
Mon singe ne bouge pas.
Moi je parle quand il capture dorothée.
Après avoir capturé la bille, le singe remonte très lentement.
It doesn't pick up the ball every time but it moves at the same speed.
Le singe doit se déplacer à la même vitesse dans les deux sens. Cela ressemble à un problème avec le moteur. Soumettre un ticket et voir ce JJP dit à ce sujet. Et puis leur demander quand 1.23 qui est à venir! 
Et vive le France!
For the monkey is getting worse.
Now he can no longer climb up.
I opened a ticket, but not answer.
Pour le singe, c'est de pire en pire.
Maintenant, il n'arrive plus à monter vers le haut.
J'ai ouvert un ticket mais je n'ai pas réponse.
Hello alex,
in test, I have the same problem.
The monkey goes down well but very very slowly (and sometimes it is completely down)
Bonjour alex,
en test, j'ai le même problème.
Le singe descend bien mais il remontre vers le haut très très lentement (et parfois il reste bloqué en bas)
My problem is solved.
A big thank you to Eric at JJP.

missing in action when I played at the The problem was Sebastian's monkey mech was bogging down and starting to bind. Lubricating the mechanism fixed it right up.

Well, I think I speak for all pinheads when I say that we've all had to lubricate our monkey at some point in our lives.

With the money it costs to be a WoZ Beta-Tester, Jack should lubricate the monkey for you personally!
couldn't resist
Quoted from MrDo:couldn't resist
Try harder..... 
Quoted from Indypin:I never saw a thread that I could insert so many "that's what she said" comments! Love it!
Good to see someone around here still has a sense of humor!
Quoted from Hogbog:I purposely avoided writing " He had to lube his monkey" for a reason. Seems impossible to get around the snickering when it comes to having to grease your monkey's rod. At least we're all on the same page here.
Sounds like a personal problem.
