Check both ends of cable as well as the spots it goes into and see if any of it is slipping. Did you check the gear that is in the trany{the one that is mounted on the output shaft}some times if one gear gets worn/bad it will damage the other gear, hope this helps, Mike

both ends were still square, didnt seem as if they were slipping, the gear n the end looked fine, i had to reattach it cause the clip had came off, but it looked fine when i had it out.

What is the exact, complete tire size? You need more than just the rim diameter to calaculate the correct gear.
