Default Tamiya KV-2 Gearbox

The left gearbox in my KV-2 stopped working so I took it out and apart. The problem is that on one of the axles has a brass gear (with a hex end - like a nut) that seats inside a 32 tooth plastic gear. That plastic gear wallered out so that the two spin independently of each other. I know its a long shot, but if there is anyone out there who has recently replaced a gearbox and does not need the old one, I would like to buy the 32t plastic gear in the photos or even the entire non-functioning gearbox. It doesn't have to be from a KV-1 or KV-2, but I don't know which others might be similar enough to work.

I hate to buy a brand new transmission for one gear, so any help would be appreciated.
