Thank you for your patience during this busy season. This operator is similar in design to our 39-348, but please look it over and let me know if you had any questions.

Can I just replace the retainer clip? Or do I need to replace whole mechanism? thank you.

I'm afraid you need a whole new operator. Based on the damage I see in your photos, your worm gear is stripped out. These are machine-pressed at the factory so it's not something you can repair in your home.
