I opened up my AG-1980 today, and I still have no idea what a "link gear" is. All the gears I see are resins or plastics. While there are plenty of metal parts, I don't see anything that could be (by common sense guestimations) a "link gear".
I know a good bit about VCRs -- but I'm not an broadcast engineer or electronics tech. It sounds like a made-up term to me, but I could be wrong.
I looked the term up on Google, and got almost no hits -- most of what I did see all related to Panasonic branded VCRs from yesteryear. So maybe it's a Panasonic-specific part? (And if that's the case, then it's a "made up term" from Panasonic, and I won't feel so stupid.)
Every now and then, somebody has a question that stumps me. This is one of those times. The most I can do is say "GOOD LUCK!" and wish you well on it.
You may have to buy a "for parts only" broken VCR, and then gut it for good pieces.
