The symptoms match the noise I have in my 2003 olds sihouette. In my case the dash cover has numerous cracks from 18 yrs of UV exposure. I am not too hopeful about repairing or finding a replacement, but if I can eliminate the noise I will be very happy, indeed! The van has only 90k miles and is great mechanically but these plastic bits are failing left and right. Thanks so much for your post!
I think I just searched eBay, but I found one on amazon, if you search: "GM Blend/Mode Air Door Actuator Gear Rebuild Kit (Fits Chevy, GMC and more 1990-2013)"

Pretty sure this is what's going on with my 2000 Venture. Thank you for taking time to post!
Is there a reference for the gears, or did you just Amazon search actuator gears?
