Unable to Sync Audio after recording hiccup

I have separate video and audio clips that I need to synchronize (using the camera's audio as a scratch track).  Normally, I use the Synchronize... tool and that works great.

However, I believe our sound board had an issue while recording the audio in this case (possibly due to being recorded to a slower USB drive that couldn't keep up?). So after synchronizing, toward the end of the clip there is a part where the audio skips ahead and is no longer in sync for the rest of the composition.

How can I get that back on track? I tried slicing the audio and video clips right at the part that skipped and then synchronizing again, but that does not actually have any effect.

    You're hosed dude.  You'll have to find the point where the audio skips (and there may be many of them), cut the clip and re-sync from there.

    You're likely going to need to split the clip (like you did) but then unlink the video and the audio (right click on the clip to find the option) and use the Slip Tool to slip one or the other until they sync up with one another. Tedious, but not impossible.
