2006 Tiffin slide gears keep shearing

I have a 2006 Tiffin with electric slides that the bedroom slide had the gear shear some of the teeth off. have had it replaced. After two to three times ( during testing ) bring it in it happened again. Person that replaced it said someone held the button in to long which caused it to. The manual says once it gets in should hold button for another 5 to 8 seconds. Which at the most was done. Question is isn't there a stop or breaker that when enough pressure it shuts off. My other slide has no problems.

    The Motor/Transmission has a built in clutch. When you extend or retract fully, you will hear it rachet. You STOP when you jear the first rachet. Your manual is WRONG. There are some slides you can hold for 5 to 10 seconds. YOUR specific Slide you do NOT. And yes, it could cause the gears to shear. MY question is, Did he replace JUST the defective gear? Because, the individual parts of that Powergear/LCI gear assbly are no longer available, you MUST replace the complete motor/transmission and the BAD gear as a unit. That is how Tiffin sells the replacement part. This is just part of what your system looks like. Doug
