That gear has a clutch set up. Take it apart and clean all the oil and/or grease from it and CA or epoxy the small gear to the larger gear. Or... just get the Tamiya 6-speed gear set ITEM72005**1200 (my personal suggestion) and use the blue gear(s) from the kit.
I do believe there are 3 to 4 gears in there, enough to fix maybe 2 tanks with the elevation and turret rotation.
