Update: Hello everyone. My repair is going well. Took the mac case off, took of the floppy drive and found the stripped gear. See photos below. I now have a new issue. As I was cleaning the drive, I took the extra initiative to clean the lower plate but one of the metal clips flew off the stud...

Excellent. I appreciate that clarification;)

Thank you. I'll take a look:)

oh! I thought the screws holding the floppy casing in place was blocked by the motherboard. Do you have a video link that may show the process? And thank you for your help on this.

Great! I hope you are correct and I'll get that gear just to be on the safe side once I open it up:)

Excellent. Thank you for the confirmation that was the issue and for the links. I'll get those ordered and hope for the best;)
