This issue has me baffled and slightly demoralized that I will be able to find a solution. I took everything apart today to get a look at the studs that the transmission attaches to and everything looked fine.

I torqued it back together by spec, alignment was still showing true by the notches in both transmissions and yet still having the same issue- aluminum clamshell support arms are uneven throughout travel and the driver side hyper-extends into weather stripping when it reaches it's most rearward position.

At this point I am considering converting to manual operation if that would fix my issues.

Did you take the transmission apart and check the gears. If the nylon gear is broken or missing a few teeth that can happen. Did you use a drill motor to check the cable operation.
