Same just happened to me. I’m not even sure how it happened? I just picked up my lense and realised the zoom wasn’t working. What could’ve caused this? Is it worth a repair? It still works fine if I slightly move the top of the lense in the opposite direction.
Unscrewed the front element to clean the internal dust and all these metal tab spacers (washers) came out with the second set of screws. There weren’t an even number of tabs so I spotted a roughly even number about the base of the second line of screws and reassembled it. Around 3-4 metal tabs each. Seems to work fine now. Are you seeing a similar situation with uneven number of these metal tabs?
Hi, same thing happened to my lens, lens hood was stuck and I tried hard and got crack near zoom switch, official service center said we need to change entire zoom barrel and quotation was about 20,000INR (250US $). I live in India, do you think i should pay such amount?
In my case, I was unscrewing a ND filter that was a little bit stuck. That somehow broke the zoom mechanism inside. For the past year, I used a 3D printed ring to prevent the zoom going back to 70, so now it’s like a 100-180.
This is exactly what happened to my lens, and Tamron said the warranty does not cover it due to "impact damage". I don't think I have ever bumped or dropped my lens. What could have caused this?

So I did the same thing to clean my lens. Did this fix your issue? I left 2 of my spacers out 😳
Would you mind telling me which screwdriver size you used to remove the front element?

The way he lays out screws shows he does this often.
This is exactly what happened to my lens, and Tamron said the warranty does not cover it due to "impact damage". I don't think I have ever bumped or dropped my lens. What could have caused this?
Hi, the cause is attaching the lens hood or filter attached to the lens. If the lens was on 70 mm you should be very caution.
I got the same issue, Tamron cn told me they fix tons of lans with this issue😢
Hi send it to us and we can fix it for a very reasonable price.
