Might also want to try removing the grease with a toothpick, sometimes the grease itself degrades and gums up all-plastic gears. Plastic-to-plastic doesn't necessarily need extra lubrication, depending on what kind of plastics are involved, even though it can be beneficial for installation and the first few runs.
Some sewing machine people - who have a similar problem - swear by Tri Flow grease, available at your local bicycle shop. The safety of using this is probably also related to the specific kinds of plastic involved, but by all accounts it is good stuff. -TC >LubriPlate is often used by repair shops, though I havnt' tried to >source it in a long time.
