## Discrepancy

NR 2 ENGINE THRUST LEVER REMAINED FROZEN AT 80 PERCENT ON  DESCENT INTO SJC.  DID A PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN AT 10,000 FT.  NO OTHER PROBLEMS NOTED.  UPON CREW DEBRIEF FOUND NR 2 THROTTLE LEVER STUCK AT 1/3 TRAVEL.  MOVED THROTTLE LEVER AND FOUND SLIGHT BIND WHICH ENDED UPON FURTHER CYCLES.  QUESTIONED CREW ON SHUTDOWN, AND OIL PRESSURE WAS PRESENT.  FOUND NR 2 ENG THROTTLE CABLE TO BE OF THE SEALED TYPE AND THUS CANNOT BE LUBRICATED / BLOWN OUT.  REQUIRES CABLE ASSY.
