My daughter used my Kitchen Aid Mixer to make a Honey Cake which has a very thick batter. It mixed it well, but at the end had a burning smell. Is it the motor? My Kitchen Aid is probably over 25 years old and just wondering if it's fixable or should I just get a new Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Your best option is to replace a 25 year old appliance. the cost to repair will far exceed the monetary value of mixer.

I think this link will help you understand what is needed to fix your mixer.
You will need to purchase a gear. Here is link MarBeck should have it.
You may need to replace some grease. Make sure to use a non-toxic food grade grease.

Quick summary:
Tilt back the head of your mixer. Look at the joint between the head/body of the mixer. A flat-head (standard) screw will now be visible. Turn this screw counter-clockwise to raise the attachments, clockwise to lower them. Don't turn the screw too much, it is pretty sensitive.

Hi. Goto www.mendingshed.com and download the free Kitchenaid Service Manual.
You may have overloaded the mixer with bread or cookie dough, causing internal damage to the gears.
If you plan to do the repair yourself, you might also consider removing the old grease and oil. Remove, clean and regrease the planetary gear assembly as well. This will add years of life to your mixer.
Regrease with Chevron FM ALC EP-2 product.

Hi. Since I can't tell how much you have taken apart, I'll start from the beginning.
Remove the silver band, remove the top cover. At the top front of the mixer locate the transmission housing. If it's plastic, inspect it carefully for cracks around the screws and the body of this housing. If you find cracks, you have found the cheap plastic part that kitchenaid still installs in new mixers, and the cause of your trouble. They know that it's substandard but don't care enough to place a recall notice on this part. It may not please you to know that their replacement part is METAL like the original part should have been. "For the way it's made"! Indeed!
If you intend to repair the mixer yourself, go to kitchenaid's website, enter your model # and locate the parts list for your mixer. Download the drawings, they will assist you with your project.
Be sure to tell kitchenaid what you think of their cheap plastic part.
