Is it a Bomar slide? Those usually are great and I' ve used both the outside and inside the rod styles. You may want to try that too. Find one that' ll seperate your cables. It' s not so important with the old steel cables, but with the new buss cables, you' ll get alot of friction and have to wax them more than you should have to. Also, can you move your rod? Sometimes just moving it up or down (rotating) will do the trick and it usually doesn' t take much.
