You can fix the gear if its easy enough to take out. Clean off any
grease with a solvent that won't attack the material the gear is made
of (who knows what that might be). Denatured alcohol should be OK. Fill
in the "blank spot" with a good epoxy or JB weld. Let it cure for a
copule days and hand cut a new tooth into the epoxy with miniature
"jewelers" files. Might take a while but it can be done.
