I'm not sure what this is, a few broken gear teeth maybe?

When I turn my radio on, the antenna goes up but stops a few inches short of fully extended and the motor keeps running and running. If you get out and pull up a little on it the motor stops.

When you turn the radio off, the antenna cannot retract. The motor keeps running and running again though. If you give it a little nudge it will lower and stop as normal.

So what is busted? How can I replace it? I don't want to switch to a whip, I like having it down when wheeling.

Thanks for the help!
