    Expand one of the revolute mates involved with your gear relation.  Edit one of the mate connectors.  Check off the "Move" checkbox and add a rotation.

    @akko_hoshino, the trick is to rotate one of the gears by 1/2 tooth (360/n/2 degrees).  Expand the revolute mate for the gear that you would like to rotate.  Typically that will contain two mate connectors.  Edit one of these mate connectors to rotate about the z axis.
