I've noticed my celi's gas pedal has been sticking coming from complete stops. Is there a common place to look to lube something up? I'm hoping its as simple as that and not something to do with the tranny.

try adjusting the throttle cable at the throttle body. thats the best place to start. maybe clean the throttle body too.

Clean the throttlebody. Carbon buildup usually does this. Also try some white lithium on the cable and work it into the cable conduit.
