Throttle Body sticky

my throttle pedel has like a clicking feeling to it when the car is running but goes away when the car is off. A mechanic said that it was that there is play in the shaft that the Throttle plates are attached to and when there is vacuum behind it it binds up. Now it makes sense but is tehe anyway to fix this? I know a mechinese and was thinking about having bushing made up and installed?

I send them out to a carb shop and have them re-bushed.

Cures it.
