Phil,
I'm not sure why a problem with the backlash gear would cause mechanical failure(s) unless you were waaaaaay beyond the design limits of the EG33. The gear's design is to take up any "slop" between the intake and exhaust gears (when they "mesh" together). Can you provide a little more detail?
-Bill
