Actually, I have to say both gears are probably shot! If the door glass moves freely up and down you may need both gears.
The motor gear probably has a groove worn in it from the regulator gear failure.
If you want to repair the regulator, here is the gear.

If you want to buy the motor gear here is the link.

And if you don't want to fool with installing the gear and want the entire regulator, we have both the US and now the imported regulators. You'll find them at this link.

I had the same problem on my 79. I ended up replacing the whole window regulator assembly. I found that the bushing that the regulator pivots on and what the spring attaches to had worn down. There was so much slop that the gear's teeth on the motor didn't engage with the regulator. I ended up just replacing the whole assembly since it was a pain to get inside the door and didn't feel like tearing down the window regulator assembly.
