Ok i bought the car with a broken mast, no problem, get new mast and feed it in the antenna assembly. I have done this twice before, on my Supra and MR2 when i had one. well this one will not feed in. the new mast feed in about 10 inches and then stops. im so freaking mad at it! i got so mad i bent the new mast, so now i need another one. ****! so whats the problem? and yes i took the assembly apart and removed the broken part of the old mast. it was all jacked up in there. could something be pinching it?

yes it was an OEM mast that i was using. and yes it seems that at the slightest resistance the motor shuts down. ill try giving it a good cleaning. another thing i notices is the big gear has 2 positions, if you rotate it just right it will sandwich all the way down. or you can have some space in it. i think you want the space to allow for the mast to fully extend or retract.
