It's possible that some small debris has got stuck in the gear box. Take the gear box out and blow into the hole in the corner. You should hear the gears spinning. If they do not spin, take the individual gears out and wash them off.

Do the small gears in the gear box spin freely or are you referring to the cone gear spinning at the top?

Gears in box spinning freely
Cone gear turns only back and forth once then seems to lock up
New bushing on cone gear also
I can't see any wear on gear like teeth worn down
Thank you

You mentioned the fact that you have replaced everything. Did that include a Medium Turbine / Spindle Gear Kit? Usually, one of those gears would fail before the cone gear. If you've replaced those parts, the only other part we'd recommend replacing is the cone gear.
