Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Any ideas would be appreciated - as I was quoted @ 300$ to replace the pedal assembly which seems to be overkill for this problem.
Leading evidence: 'Replace pedal assembly' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace pedal assembly' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have a 2001 996 with tiptronic with @ 32k that has a 'sticky' gas pedal. It has been sitting for a while but not sure if I can somehow lube it so it will return to a smooth motion. Since it is a tip is still drives smoothly but if it were a stick it might make it jerky to drive it this way.
Any ideas would be appreciated - as I was quoted @ 300$ to replace the pedal assembly which seems to be overkill for this problem.
Take the assy out, disassemble it, clean it, lightly lube it, reassemble it and save $300.
Others have done it with success.

The link is very helpful except on a 99 cable driven, there is another cable attached to the bottom of the pedal. Thus, you can't pull the assemble out. Has anyone tried it on a cable driven?
Im not sure how they work. But I have this to offer.
My ford escape and wifes caravan both stuck at the top. So you couldnt apply smooth pressure to apply gas. It was a real pain in traffic. You would go to apply a little gas and you had to apply so much pressure that when it would unstick you would push the gas pedal 1/2 way down.
The way the pedal is designed on THOSE cars is the actual pedal pushed a rod, that rod then connected to the trottle cable. I greased the back of the pedal where the rod was contacting the pedal. Basically the rod couldnt slide on the pedal. After I greased it all was smooth as silk.
