pmaura Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 My thrustmaster throttle sticks, aparently I should loosen a screw inside and apply some grease. Heres the real question, anyreason I cant use wd40 or can you only apply a specific grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikita_nomad Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I used Nyogel 767A. Works really good. Mine was sticking all the time, after applying this, super smooth, better then ever. Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector45 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 WD40 is a great rust preventative but not a great lubricant. The best way to do it is take it apart, line the plastic half moon channels with packaging tape, then lubricate with lithium grease on both the metal rails and the packaging tape lined half moon channel mounts. I did mine like that and they have been perfect for over 2 years of heavy use. I get absolutely no binding/sticking when trying to move the throttle from the very top as it would when stock.

72Stu Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 You can get a small tube of lithium grease from a cycle shop, that will do nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
