Well, good news/bad news....

Bad news, it was doing it ALOT today with and without TC on for the first 15-30 minutes of my drive and randomly on sweeping turns where it would just keep the gas at a certain rpm.

Good news, I was almost kinda maybe (lol) reproduce it at will and I do think it now has something to do with the pedal. I was able to notice when it would particularly hang at a rpm, shift it into neutral and then blip the throttle enough to get it to stick. At the moment, I was like "AHA!" So I'm going to get deep in there tomorrow morning and see if there is anything that obvious and physical that might be causing this. If not, its going straight to the dealer and I'll request a new assembly.

Also, I want to point out that it never accelerates further than where it gets stuck. Example; if I'm taking a turn and the rpms go from 5k to 3k as im slowing down, it might get stuck at 3k and simply hold that rpm until im complete with the turn. Its still a very wierd sensation and its a bit scary but I never feel that its going to race through the gear and kill me either.
