Eventually I quit using it for fear of the top getting stuck halfway when I was not home. I took it apart last winter and fixed it. It has worked better than ever since. The write up in the 101 project book has some good photos. I also found a video online. If do decide to take it apart be sure and mark everything with a felt pen so you can get it all back together the same way.

Well, I have all the symptoms of what you're stating. How did you manage to fix the cracked gear? I'm not sure if I would do a rebuild but I am curious to see the video if you don't mind posting it...I appreciate the help!
