Tried to clean the goop off the gears, know why they are sold in sets ,(I just bought the one gear) the other white nylon? one broke into about 4 pieces. The OSD kicked in and I superglue it together. I lubed the gears with the swimming pool stuff. Odometer is currently working .. I ordered the other gears today.
