I'm working on a G-mech deck myself (Panasonic AG5700) right now, so thought I'd share some helpful resources I found. On bit of the full erease head holder plastic had broken off and blocked the mechanism when loading a tape, which caused something in there to go out of position.
There seems to be a few versions of them, judging by the service manual the FS100 has a newer version of it that has an an extra motor and belt, same with FS200 and AG5700 and related decks. Not sure what the exact use of the extra motor is, but it seems to be connected to a gear that moves the sliding metal piece.
This FS200 service manual has a part on this version of the mechanism at the end though it's a bit hard to follow. There's a full G deck manual
here, though it is a slightly different version without the extra motor and belt. There also seems to be some slight variations on the metal bracings that go over the centre gear. Also, which pins have retaining rings and washers on them also seem to vary a bit, so make sure you take pictures before doing anything!.
There are two factory training videos on the G mech on youtube,
here and
here (worse quality but includes strip down.)
12voltvids on youtube also has 2 videos (
1,
2)on gear timing on a G mechanism deck, though that one seems to have another, probably older, variation of it with a square (?) belt instead of a toothed one and is missing the capstan brake pad thing.
I managed to fix some of the issue on mine by re-assembling it, but seems I did something wrong when reassembling as it's still not turning the take-up reel properly when in play mode.
Be very careful with the retaining rings when/if taking them off, they can easily fly off and being hard to find again.
