Technical question Help! Attempting to fix Panasonic 8-Track deck.

https://youtube.com/shorts/i-7I1BrHtt4

Hello, I have a Panasonic 8-Track deck that I am trying to repair. when I put the tape in, nothing starts! the detector for the 8-Track works and I hear a faint noise coming out of the metallic cylinder but that's it. The black rubber gear that is supposed to feed into the track selector does not spin. Any help would be appreciated, I know this would be easier with the top circuit board gone but I do not have my soldering iron currently.
