Canon has no distributors for camcorder parts. Unless you have a buddy who is a Canon ASC you have to buy from Canon Parts and pay list price. 800-828-4040. If it says Korea on the label it was probably made by Samsung. You might be able to find a Samsung model with the same motor and for a better price. All the motors I have seen with that problem were made by Samsung, except one in a Sony camcorder, and that motor might have been made by Samsung .too.
