JVC Mini DV Camcorder quick repair

the crack made the distance between the 2 teeth too big
with the knife you can reduce the distance between the 2 teeth again

    Thank you so much! I did this but I also used the small file off of a nail clipper and now playback is smooth.

    Thanks a lot! That actually worked great! Printed out a 2nd gear with the same dimensions to check which gear teeth didn't fit anymore. Then I shaved a bit of those teeth off with a razor blade and assembled everything again. Now the playback is flawless again. Also great idea with the end sleeve! Dissassembly worked like a charm with that!

    good hack but I believe the problem will eventually come back once the gears are completely broke. I am having the same issue but I decided to find a non-working cam and pull the good gear from there instead.

    Did you get the gear from non-working Jvc ? In such a case I am wondering how long can the replacement last as I see that all gears have same problem. Or did you get the replacement from another Camcorder brand ?

    I have a JVC GR-DVL805 that is having a similar problem, the mechanism works, takes the cassette in, ejects, etc. but it is stuck in SafeGuard mode (E04 error specifically), I’ve done all of the needed reset etc. but am lost as to what to do now. What do you recommend?

    Hi! Have similar problem on gr-df570 (clicking sound and tape twitch), but i found one tooth missing on the gear! Is it normal or not? My gear looks a little different than yours, so i cant decide whether the tooth is broken or not ) Besides, i dint found any broken tooth in the camera... To buy a new one is impossible, as you know... PS: Well. For now, i found 2 (!) broken gears (left and right) with the same problem: one missing tooth. OMG, what a plastic they are made?!. So i have to make a new tooth! And it's done! ))) Camcorder now is fully functional. Of course, i hear some unusual sounds in rewind mode, but it doesnt affect playback. There was A LOT of small parts work, but it's worth it in deed! And in my case, to make a new tooth was the only choice ))) And thanks a lot for your guide!

    @petersavchenco9826 well ) I made the new tooth from a plastic bottle cap. It took a lot of pressicion work and some superglue. I don't believe this repair will be successful for a long time because of the poor quality of initial gear stuff. Those gears are badly damaged, fully cracked, alas!

    Couldn’t you use a couple small rubber bands and jb weld to repair ? Theory apply small amount of jb weld with a tooth pick to the cracked area then using rubber bands over the teeth on opposing side of the crack to close and hold the weld until cure. Could that work ? I’m not sure I completely understand the relationship or difference needed angle or gap to cut in the teeth with a knife to over come the cracked area.

    I think the crack under elastic band welding would become a problem again due to the renewed tension and maybe tear again.

    Simple logic: the plastic has cracked, and because of that, the spacing between the teeth of the wheel have changed a bit. By cutting some teeth around the cracked area the crack using a sharp hobbyknife, you can adjust the spacing.
