Hi super
So yes replacing the 3 white gears fixed enough of the problem that I didn't have to tackle the grey one. It is, in fact 10T gear with 2A hole. And I had the replacements thankfully as well as spiral gears but didn't get to/need to replace it to function.
Regarding your advise on fixing the grey gear, that's almost exactly what I would've done minus the glue as your are correct with a) superglue not having the strength to hold a cracked gear properly and b) the potential of extra goop drying up between the gear and causing more problems
As far as why, I live in New York so your guess is as good as mine lol. I open nearly all my toys and discard the boxes because I don't want to feel like I'm "collecting" items and not playing with them. So with that said, toys that still have their boxes I kept in a separate storage so I checked those few boxes and everything else seems ok.
As for grease I use Super lube. (For those late night.... Fixes)
Also yes, you are correct and I plan on replacing the rest of the gears if I ever have trouble come up again.
