Shifter "bind/click" when shifting into reverse on 2007 B3

[homelite]

I have an issue that is kinda hard to explain, but maybe it will ring a bell to someone who works on these all the time... I have a 2007 B3 that runs and shifts good. My issue is, when shifting into reverse, I get a small bind type feeling when getting past the actual shift into rev just before the throttle starts moving. I do not get this in forward or in neutral so I don't think its the throttle part of it. It does this most of the time. It's not bad, but it's there. I have the factory shift adjustment tools (including the plate for the cable with the outdrive removed) and it is all correct. I feel this is a needle in the haystack type question, but does this ring a bell? Maybe it's something int he shifter? It does do it even when shifting on the trailer with the earmuffs on. I tried that just to see it it still did it with no load on the props/clutch. Thanks in advance if anyone heard of this! The photo is my shifter model in case that matters.

I think it's just age and that throttling in reverse is not done very often, so it's a bit tighter (less play)
