Glenn,
Sure happy the gear pack worked. When working on mine, I lined up the gear packs on both sides by turning the side follower end to match to driver end, but I did not have any problem with the slide lining up top/bottom--just had to get both sides to move at same time by working the follower side by hand with a pipe wrench with the torque tube disconnected.
Interesting deal with the newer '15 I had--the torque tube is in two sections one fits inside the other. Well, DRV in their infinite wisdom, tack welded the two sections together. This kept the separate sections from moving within each other and snapped the tube in half at the weld. Of course, "this is the first time we have heard of this happening" was response from DRV. Bought the torque tubes and replaced them without the weld. At least I got the tubes quickly at the CG I was at and had time to do the replacement.
Best of luck with future crises...
