My 03 HO 48RE throttle seems to be sticking at times. Sometimes when I place it in reverse, I can feel it bind in the throttle. Then when I go forward it seems to hang in first gear and I can feel it binding again. When I romp on it, it goes away. Rather than go to the hassle of taking it to the dealer, I thought I would see if something was loose, however the throttle cover has those cheesy plastic, non useable screws. Guess I need to rip-em out. before I do, anyone else experience something like this??

 

Sittenbull, that was my thought as well. I have been waiting for the vibration cure to come forth, so I can knock it all out at one time. Sounds like DC is getting close on that (yeh, right). I live a ways from the dealer. This is just like rotating tires, I can get them rotated for free, but by the time I make the trip and sit around, I can get it done.
