I am just operating from memory, Riccardo, but I am sure that it a pneumatic cylinder.

As for removing the top, it is basically a Minolta XD so if you can get a diagram for that model, it is essentially the same except for the lens mount.

Sorry that I cannot recall it from memory. It's been a few years!

The symptoms would indicate that the cylinder was lubed with a light oil at assembly.

I would clean it with Ronsonol and lube it with a very light oil such as Nyoil and give it a test.
