Here is a source worth checking.  They'll make the gear.

Back when I was in the machine tool business I worked with a company called
Boston Gear.  They have an extensive catalog of off the shelf gears of every
size and description.  I no longer have the catalog but it might be worth
looking into.

This is for the FWIW category.

Every car has some lousy recurring defective that is a PITA.  The SHO has
several, but one of the worst is when the Blend Door Actuator fails and you
live in a warm climate like South Florida.  To get at the part to replace it
you have to remove the dash.   Check Shotimes for more details, but you'll
know you have to do this repair when your AC blows on full hot in automatic
mode.

The local dealership gave me the old defective part so I snapped a few pics
and posted them to my website.

If that link doesn't come across cleanly, try this one.

Some of the pics give a good detailed view of the stripped gears.  Anyone
know
of a source for getting replacement gears?  Seems like a shame to throw the
part out as it's otherwise in very good shape.
