Most of this kind of problem is general tape wear, tape crease,
and/or edge damage affecting the tracking .
I doubt whether there's much you can do.

Play the bad part, get the tape out of the player and open the flap.
(don't touch the tape with your hand) Any obvious damage?

You might be better off transferring it into the computer and cleaning
it digitally.

Regarding cleaning cassettes, I'd use them very carefully, if at all.
Most of them are too harsh and will damage the video/audio heads.

I had a quick look in the edonkey p2p network and found this:
