Pin Slot Joint Will not Rest for Distance

Hi. I've inserted a pin slot joint but cannot get it to rest for the distance portion of the joint. Also, was wondering if there is a way to speed up a contact set (or cache the movement) for better performance while moving the joint in real time. (I added a small sphere to the front of the screw component in the video posted, in order to decrease contact between surfaces on the contact set, but that does not seem to help performance.). In the video, I did not mention that the cylindrical joint used for the screw has a motion link so that one full revolution of the screw moves it .85 mm linearly. That seems to be working fine.
Update: I suppressed the contact set and set up a motion link between the cylinder revolve joint and pin slot slide joint and that seems to work well as far as simulating the screw being turned and the spreader moving in and out. Still can't get the rest on the pin slot slider to work, however.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
