overly loud angle grinder

Was using the trusty old ryobi angle grinder the other day and something inside it started to grind....so I pulled the gearbox off and some kind of plastic guard had sheered off....so I put it back together without the guard and now its is really loud....this happen to anyone? it even feels like its spinning faster now. Sad

got any pics?
sounds like some kind of spacer or something and now the gears are meshing even worse than they otherwise would?

yeah...I thought it might have been a sound suppressor or somthing ....but the grinder feels like it is about to blow and has lots of vibrations....looks like it's destined for the robot parts box. Sad
