    Exclamation Replicator 2 Y axis slipping?

    I've got a Replicator 2 with about 350 !580! printing hours. It suddenly started slipping in the Y direction.
    - The belts are all tight and I can find no damaged teeth or unusual wear.
    - And the XYZ step motor cable has been replaced already with a crutch to help it not be bent in the future.
    - The gantry seems to be aligned.
    - I have yet to grease.

    I'm not sure how to continue.

    UPDATE: I replaced the short Y belt with a spare salvaged from an old bot. Tighter than the original but not as much as I want. ALSO IT STILL SKIPPING AROUND.
    also this bot is at 580hrs :\

    Things I have done:
    -Greased
    -Tightened all belts
    -Realigned gantry
    -Switched Y motor with a spare
    -Switched short Y belt with spare
