I have a 2008 Carriage Cameo F35KS3. On the main (non-kitchen) slide the motor starts to skip once a bit of resistance comes into play. It happens on both extend and retract. The motor shaft gear doesn't come into close enough contact with the bigger gear, and you can see it skipping. The skipping CAN be overcome with one or more persons pushing or pulling the slide while someone operates the switch but this is annoying.
I got under there to see if I can adjust the spacing between the drive shaft gear and the other gear, but there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust it to get close to each other.
Is there an adjustment I didn't see or is there some other way to resolve this? It's really a pain to deal with.
Has anyone seen this before, or know what I can do to fix this? I'm not even sure how it happened in the first place.
The drive shaft gear doesn't seem to be worn anymore than it should be, its just that the gears don't mesh enough.
Here are 4 images of the gears:

I read through the FAQ of this forum and it doesn't say anything about cross-posting so I'm going to post this in another area, too. Please let me know if that's not OK.
