Hello
Can someone tell me how to grease/oil 2018 Shifting/ Throttle binding.
Or do you replace them

Regarding a 2018, I would be surprised if this were a lubrication issue. Stiff is one thing, but binding is USUALLY something that's not adjusted properly.

Is this an install that's been working OK, with new cables and control, and motor installed in 2018, a 2018 motor that's been installed recently using existing controls and cables, or something that's happened over time?

If the throttle and shift cables were disconnected from the motor, then checked for this binding, you would know beyond any reasonable doubt if this was a cable issue.

Another thought maybe. Are you trying to shift from forward to reverse while the engine is not running? If so, bad plan. The mechanism in the lower unit is designed in a manner where the motor MUST be running to shift properly.

Probably due to a C-19 long unwanted stop, whatever worked well while well greaed might be darn dried now. If so, will need to remove whatever part has been binding, clean well, regrease and install back to work as used to...

Thank you!

Not really sure if Binding or Sticking. Will be safe and take to Dealer and have done.

If not sure what's the problem about, take it to the dealer and hopefully hope the dealer doesn't over charge a lot of money to clear that out...
