bd, I suggest new cables (both throttle and trans) from the helm and repacking the shaft. Try the Gortex packing. It's been around for a few years and has proven itself to be a "near dripless" packing. Packing can last for years but it is water lubricated and must drip inside the hull. I've had packing last over 20 years.

Along with what Pete said, you might check the bolts and fittings behind your morse control. A loose bolt or a worn connector fitting can feel like a sticky cable...ask me how I know?!!? LOL
