Thanks, Bruce, that's exactly what I needed. My 2003 TF135 has had an unpleasantly sticky throttle since I bought it. In traffic it went from too little power to too much in an instant. I followed your advice, found exactly the same problem and fixed it the same way. Now the throttle is perfectly smooth throughout the range, and the car is much easier to heel-and-toe. Couldn't resist painting the assembly while I had it out.
