ford4evr, the nylon gear is behind the small gear you see outside the gear reduction box. The small metal gear you see and the nylon one inside are attached by a hard plastic that my Ford parts man told me commonly fails. I bought a replacement gear kit from Ford that comes w/ the gear, grease and a new gear cover for less than $40.00.
I couldn't find a 3rd party motor assembly locally and I have no time to mail order a part, which is the smarter thing to do if you are not pressed for time.
This article is very good. Thank you.
