I'm trying to work through this right now, too... I pulled my motor off last night and pulled it apart. The worm gear appeared to be in tact, with sharp edges throughout (unlike the picture above, which shows the worm gear notably worn). The other gear (the one the worm interacts with) looked ok, I think, as long as those teeth are SUPPOSED to be concave. I couldn't quite tell if that was proper or it had been worn out that way. Most people seem to indicate that the worm gear is the one that wears out. So, I'm kindof at a loss...
