Timing belt is escaping!

The only reason the belt will move forward on the gears is because the "washer" that is part of the t-belt drive gear on the crankshaft has come loose from the gear.

The Toyota dealer can get you one over night for about $85.
Best to change the t-belt too, as it has now been damaged.

Better to NOT drive the car until fixed.
