You said the yoke is in the correct orientation. I take it that means the long transverse bar is located at the rear side and short drivers side bar is in front? When you were driving it manually and it stopped was either of the bars touching the center of the assy. If so you might have to back it up to run bars all the way around. Without seeing it that is a hard call from a distance. It is also possible the manual direct driving has moved the cam inside into a position where the limit switch has been depressed and has maybe gotten stuck or damaged. That would explain why it would electrically drive one way and not the other.

The motor does turn in both directions when powered directly. The short bar is in front and the long bar is in the rear. I only directly drove the motor for a few revs in each direction ('down' until the motor ran until it would run no longer, and 'up' for about 30 seconds). I don't think that the bars pressed into the assy. although both bars are slightly bent from the previous TL system drama.

Before driving the motor directly, I had disconnected the small compensator lever rod and moved the lever by hand, back and forth, with no TL motor engagement. I reconnected the small lever control rod and then tried the direct power of the TL motor.
