What a treat this will be. No lube I tried fixed it. The sensor is still sticky notchy feel when it should be super smooth thru the entire movement and take not much effort to turn it.

well that sucks. bright side is you're in mn so winter is around the corner for you so make it a winter project.
good luck!

i know this is an old thread, but i feel I need to say this in case future people visit, DO NOT LUBE IN ANY WAY THE TWIST SENSOR. The sensor is wearing out, replace with new. No way to repair, only replace.
