angular path mate issues

I have been trying for litterally days to try and get this path motion to work correctly and not have any interfearences. The problem is that I need a concentric mate for the circular pin on a gear and the second pin to follow a downward sloping circular path. I tried to use a path mate but have been unsuccessfull. It would be nice to have the second pin just be tangent to the interior of the loft but it appears that is not an option. Is there a better way of doing this? I got it to work slightly but it doesnt follow a smoothly.

I appologize for what my be messiness in the model but I have been extreemly frustrated trying to go in different directions.

Thanks

Alex
