1983 300sd sticky throttle linkage?

Just in the last few days, when you press the accelerator pedal it will move slightly then stop, and if you apply more force it will make pop/snap sound and suddenly move freely all the way down. I haven't had time to look at it until tonight in the dark when i got home from work, but I looked at it under the hood and it is for sure sticking, but I cant see where. Any suggestions where to look in the morning? Or any resources with information about rebuilding it? The car has 400k+ miles on it, so its pretty worn out. I have the ability to fix it myself if I can find the parts, but depending on the cost and time I may have to get rid of the car, I will have to do more investigation though before I decide.
