Thanks so much, that makes a lot of sense. Do you know where I could
get a CLA? Would it be a bad idea to do it myself if I'm relatively

You don't say where in the world you are, but in the UK I've found that
Asahi Photo Ltd. in London are quick and efficient. Although they
specialise in Pentax, they should be able to do basic repairs on your
FM.

Alternatively, try Googling "Nikon camera repairs" and your location.
I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself, since specialist equipment is
needed to properly adjust shutter speeds, and parts may be required if
the problem is more severe.
