Having problems with the button sticking and it's a common issue to 3000 Classic controls. Anyway what it is the throttle-only shaft and associated parts don't return and the control handle locks up trying to go back into gear. I took the back off my control, lithium sprayed it, worked it around till it worked great. Put it back together and it locked up again after I used throttle-only. Tapped the bezel with a screwdriver, the parts returned and it worked again.
I don't want to take the whole thing apart unless I really have to but here's how to fix it maybe:

There are two different 3000 designs included. I don't know which mine is but I'm afraid I'll find out. Probably Design II because Design III is a change of the parts in question.
I wanted to test my trim switch which had the wires cut inside the handle and a console mounted switch instead. Dang, the switch was good! I could have spent 40 bucks to replace a good switch. Put the handle back on and it stuck. Now I have two (three) trim switches.
Jimminy Christmas, all I wanted to do was check a switch, now the boat is halfway apart.
Cheers!
