I had broken gears in the gear case too. Take a look at the gear case bushings and the potmetal case that the bushings are pressed into. On mine, I found the bushings to be OK, but the potmetal case had wallowed out thus causing misalignment of the gears and tooth breakage.
I ordered a complete unit with a new gear case the motor also had that burn't electric smell to it.
On mine, I was able to find a replacement gear from a used unit and I cleaned up the old gearcase , fitted everything together and filed in the wallowed out area of pot metal with JB weld. Repacked it with grease and never had a problem after that.
