Yep, Accu-Slide = pain in the butt
My Outback (2014) kitchen slide is partially inop at the moment. The gear box has developed a bad spot (broken teeth?). The cog turns 3/4 of a turn, then I help it past the dead spot with a pair of channel lock pliers, about 10 minutes to get the slide in or out...
Waiting on the repairman to get a new gear box, but in the meantime, I looked over the slide cable adjustment with the Accu-Slide directions....I can now see why the gear box crapped out.... The cables are adjusted too much to one side, so much so, the gearbox shaft has a slight lean to it during operation..
Luckily, my cables are easy to get to. In theory, a great idea for the cables, saves a lot of weight, but I don't think I will by another trailer with this system installed..
