My guess is that the mechbox has been shimmed improperly. If it worked well before the explosion and now it doesn't work now, then it's a problem with assembly. Do a search for shimming and see if you can find the proper instructions. It takes a lot of time to put it back together especially if you don't have a lot of experience with mechbox internals.

Exposed wires would usually short out the motor causing nothing to work or a whole lot of other problems. I'd be more inclined to look at how freely the gears spin or don't spin while the mechbox is closed. BTW, you might want to specify, as asked before, if your upgraded anything as well.
