I'm having trouble with my biggest slide too. Did yours suddenly fail, or have you seen symptoms develop over time?
It started by being very slow and hard to get back in. When my slide goes out it drops down at the end. When it comes back it has to raise about 3" - 4" then it used to come in fairly easy after it climbed over the hump. I have cleaned and sprayed the rack & pinion several times that seemed to help. But when it failed you could hear a clunking noise from the broken gears. I really have to wonder if the broken gears are a symptom of another problem this is why I want to look over the guide bearings before installing the new motor. The guide bearings are under tension right now so I need to take the tension off the bearings to remove them.
