For a quick fix, albeit temporary, You can disconect the linkage from the motor, spin the motor 180*, then reattach linkage. This uses the opposite side of the gear where the travel stops which is what wears out the gear.
I did this in '99 on mine and so far so good. Its no longer a daily driver but it does get used (and slightly abused, no trailor queen here). I also pull the rubber covers off the manual knobs and spray some lube in the motors occasionally.
