It's be nice to use all 3 speeds that its supposed to have but one tooth chipped off a gear isn't going to keep it from engaging and doesn't mean it will run like that for 10 years or 10 feet. It'll be just fine for now unless I absolutely can't live without 3rd gear. It's not like I have to drive this to work, it's a 40 year old lawn mower...

I'd fill it with some 30W engine oil and run it. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will free up or maybe it will blow its guts out. At least pull the rear cover off and see if you can fish the broken teeth out or JB weld a magnet to the bottom of the cover and hopefully that will grab some of the junk inside.
