lube pointers for SDL Throttle?

Well, the throttle on my SDL is starting to stick a bit. It really is a bit unnerving to have the car race like that.

I did some research and saw that the factory manual suggests ATF to lubricate the ball joints on the throttle. All well and good, but I have two questions:

1. How many ball joints are there? I found four or so, but I think there are more.

2. Can I just shoot WD 40 on the joints? I am sure it won't last quite as long but I have a can here. Any other miracle substances?

Thanks for the help.
