I had the same problem and I rebuilt the cluster and almost wrecked or blew the engine on my 85 911 on the test drive . I just kept tapping the gas without touching the clutch and it stopped being stuck. I took another look at this problem and found that the linkage on the back of the gas pedal was getting caught on the body directly behind the gas pedal . I used a mini grinder (Dremel) and cleared the area of the factory obstruction in the design. It works great now. I have learned so much from the forum that I really wanted to share this. These cars are great but there is always room for improvement. I believe that being a pan construction type car, that over years of use has made the bottom of the car rise (by either jacking/lifting up the car or hitting something) in this area of the gas pedal and there was no room for this in the original design.
