How to find a replacement gear for a embassy tq81bi shredder?

The nylon drive gear has been stripped of its grooves by the drive motor steel shaft. Can this gear be purchased or does it have be sent in for repair. It is the Embassy model TQ81Bi.It shreds 8 sheets with a diamond cut. Ithink I can replace it if one is available. Thanks

Contact the manufacturer for a replacement. I had the same thing happen to this model and upon calling they sent me a replacement unit free of charge.
