Default Broken CD changer, Repair and parts

I pulled the cd changer out of the car and opened it up to find the arm that swings out to spin and play the cd's is slipping. I can see the gear that is slipping on the shaft down in there and I would like to know if anyone knows where to order that part. The dealer wanted 900 bucks to swap it out for a reman unit and that's not going to happen.

Someone here found a solution, do a search and I think you will find the info. This is the one issue I have with this car, the CD player breaks constantly, I am on my second one.

Humm, I looked at tons of posts no one had info where to buy the gears. Everyone says buy an aftermarket head unit. Honestly I would rather not as an aftermarket raido is a target for scumbags to smash my windows and rip up my dash. That costs way more than fixing the changer.

Anyone know where to buy the gears to repair these?

Would anyone want me to fix their changer? Is there a market for this service? What would you pay for a rebuild swap out unit?
