After a while, the x52pro throttle will fail, no matter how gentle you are. Most fixes propose to remove the detent all together, I don't like that. I’d prefer to fix it and keep it.
It's one of the two:
It’s all because of the internal force angles and the under engineered bracing mechanism.
At some point the casing surrounding the detent breaks creating more space around the detent, allowing it to move back-front and not up-down.
⇒ The throttle notch does not push the detent downward anymore.
No need for glue as the small pieces are tight fit with the surrounding walls.
This video show you how to open and remove the detent
