Hey Kevin,
The part you're looking for is called the 'Torque Shaft', which unfortunately is not sold separately. I reached out to Lippert to see if they could just send one out and they stated if the torque shaft is needing replacement then the entire Schwintek Slide-Out system would need to be replaced. That's obviously a HUGE expense so I would try reaching out to them too to see if there's any alternative route you could take to get your system back up and running without having to fully replace it.
