well I look under and found what you talked about, to me it seems that the cable it fine, not snapped and the mechanism is fine just stiff. NOW HERE IS THE PROB. I'm thinking some clips that hold the cable sheath in place popped off, cuz when i move the slider the cable just gets pushed (not in and out but pushed like pushing it off to the side.) I just have to find out hoe to get back there and clip these back in. Any suggestions??
Yep - I broke mine a few months ago. It's a pain in the nuts to fix. Do you have the broken piece of plastic? Here is what I did. I used a hot knife to cut a slit in each side of the mounting bracket and ran a nylon wire tie though it. This securely wrapped around the top of the cable and pice of plastic which clamps that cable in. I superglued the whole assembly in place to make sure it didn't slide. This provided enough tension so that the cable doesn't move.

I know this description bites - I took some pictures and I can post them. I didn't take pictures of what it looked like afterwards, though. PM me for more info and I can help you out.

My problem is that I ran the cable in the wrong spot and it's overtensioned and the slider doesn't move. I need to climb under there and fix it.

Good luck, and like I said, PM me for more info on how to fix this.
