Exactly, even now you can use it in MF mode. But if you still want AF just try to do like me with the gear from ebay

Exactly. In my case the gear was very tight and didnt want to install itself. I warmed it up on the open fire around 3-4 min. It seemed to be easier to put it on the pin. When you get it please let us know about your experience. Do you have 43mm broken lens?

The delivery time will depend on your region. In my case, it took about three months. Installing a gear is a very painstaking process as you can easily damage the gear and even crack. It needs to be put on and taken off several times before you finally install it on the pin. As far as I see it is not original and can vary from one to other. I was lucky and somehow installed it and now it works. I think you can try cause it is not expensive to take a chance

I disassembled my 43 limited and removed the cracked gear.
Now it works fine in manual mode, but now I am looking for the possibility to reproduce or FIND the gear replacement. For now I ordered some plastic gears, similar to the original size, from aliexpress. Taking into consideration extremely small size of the cracked gear (2mm diameter), it looks impossible to make it with 3d printer. I referred to several machine shops, they are laughing because it is very small and said that the minimum fee to try to make it is 150$ which is too much.
I live in Montreal, Canada, so if you guys have other ideas please let me know.
Otherwise I am using it in manual mode and dont want to get rid of this concrete lens and take a chance buying another one, because it is Extremely sharp and colorful. The question is to find and change this small gear ..
Thanx

Please could you explain me in couple words how did you disassembly in order to reach gears?
I just unscrewed the bayonet and saw the pin and the gear. I accidentally pushed it and she fell somewhere inside. After that I was afraid to unscrew because I did not know how. Can you please explain how to get to the mechanism? thanks
