Default Anyone have a NW 92mm T/B stick open?

I ran my car up through 1st and 2nd last night. When I went to go into 3rd it started bouncing off the rev limiter. It took a few seconds for me to realize what was going on. I smacked the pedal but it didn't fix it.

I pulled over and the T/B was stuck about 2/3 open. It felt like there was something preventing it from closing. I had to force it past whatever the problem was to get it to close.

I moved the throttle open/closed about a dozen times and it was fine. I didn't have any tools with me at the time to take the bellow off to look inside. I took it off today and I couldn't see any reason/signs of why it stuck open.

I am in no way bashing Nick or his product. Just curious to see if anyone else has had this problem. This is the first time it's done it in the year it's been on the car.

Thanks for any replies.

I have just heard of this issue with NW TB's. Kind of worries me because I am just about to buy 1.
