I have the same issue "hey_jim" had on Jan 24, 2010. The smaller of the 2 gears is stripped. So is a gear train replacement available?

There is a plastic gear in the drive train that is well known for stripping. A replacement gear is available from http://www.sunroofgears.com/ It comes complete with instructions and is quite easy to do. This will fix the problem, and the new gear will probably outlast the rest of the car!

Your mixer most likely has a stripped gears, or a combination of stripped gears. The 5kpm5ewh is an international model similar to the ksm5. The gearing inside the mixer will be the same, some of the electrical parts may differ.
Your mixer has a nylon worm gear inside, this is the most common gear to strip inside the mixer. I would recommend opening the mixer and inspecting all of the gears before you place an order.

Most likely you will need the worm gear, which is available by itself (http://www.mendingshed.com/kawormgear.html) or you can get it in the whole worm drive pinion gear assembly (http://www.mendingshed.com/kitchenaidgearassy.html) the whole assembly is a lot easier to replace, and will save you a lot of time. You may also need to replace the grease inside your mixer, KitchenAid recommends the Benalene 930-2 food grade grease, it is only available in a 30oz can (http://www.mendingshed.com/kagrease.html) And you will also need to replace the gearbox gasket (http://www.mendingshed.com/mixergasket.html).
To aid you in your repair, here is a link to the KitchenAid service manual (http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/mendingshed/kitchenaidservicemanual.pdf) This will walk you through how to take apart the mixer, replace the gear, grease and gasket, and reassemble the mixer.

They manufacture replacement gears for model trains.

My Sony CDX-636 has a mechanisim to lift and lower the CD reading carriage. It consists of a small motor and two nylon gears. the smaller of the gears has stripped a number of teeth which makes the carriage move up and then slip back. I need a new gear wheel. where can I buy a new gear? I am living in Palmdale, california

For parts availability and prices give Royal a call at 1-800-524-0799...they should be able to help.

The part number is 41A2817 and is available at any good door opener service company. It comes with instructions.

Had the same problem - the train at first stopped moving, but still rotated the balls, then later stopped rotating the balls at all. The music still played, though. I found the issue to be a small belt that transfers the motion from the electric motor to the gear system. The belt is tiny (think small rubber band) and lost tension, finally detaching from the system altogether. Getting to it is the difficult part... mind you that taking it apart carries a very high risk of breaking the plastic, so be prepared to scrap the whole thing and buy new.
To fix, start by removing the 7 outside screws to essentially split the train body in half. You'll have to pry off the large green wheel that's opposite the screws (right side of train) - this part carries the highest break risk. Be mindful of a spring (about 1/2 inch diameter) that may go flying - that one goes on the outside of the little inside wheel that moves the balls around.
Once the train is split in half, remove all screws you find, which will allow you to remove the mechanical sections, which includes the battery pack, electric motor, on/off switch, and gear system, including the wheel that moves the balls around. By the time this entire section is lifted off the train body, you'll see where the gears (they're a bit greasy) are attached to the motor towards the bottom of the gearbox. The gearbox itself has 3 or 4 screws to address that will reveal the entire gear system.
I had to take the lower (smaller) gears apart in order to replace the gear belt.
Replace the gear belt with a small rubber band (you'll likely need a small screwdriver to wrap it around the wheels), then re-assemble the gearbox and system. i recommend constantly running the toy with every step to make sure everything's still connected.
with a healthy rubber band/belt in place, the rest of the gear systems will fall into place with enough torque to drive both the train movement and the ball wheel.
good luck

The cable is probably broken. The cable goes to the transmission then goes through the firewall into the instrument panel.

This is how a got my hard to fine gear!

Good luck, Tom

This model has a gear train from the motor to the advance sprocket. The gears are plastic and prone to strip. Try E-Bay for a reasonable replacement and keep this one for parts. There are no new parts available.
