After a minor shift cable adjustment to keep the drive from bumping into forward while shifter was in neutral, I have noticed a ticking coming from the throttle & shifter controls. The drive no longer tries to engage while in neutral but this ticking noise has me stumped. Any ideas?

I had a ticking noise. To find out, it was my motion dectector alarm system. If you did not hear that noise before, that most likely is not it.
