The same noise can be created by tapping the clutch pedal at slower speeds to engage and disengage the drivetrain so it could be internal or within the diff/axle connections. To your point about the DMF to SMF - my M56H has an external slave which means it would have originally had a SMF, right? I don't believe the combination of external slave cylinder and SMF was ever available? Something that has been a nuisance since finishing the swap is that my clutch engagement point is only 3-4" off the floor, it feels like about 1/4 of the pedal travel. Sometimes when starting the car cold, the engagement point is basically 1" off the floor until I pump the clutch pedal 5-10 times. When I bled the clutch, there were no air bubbles by the time I was done, but I'd assume these symptoms would point to the clutch not being bled properly? That can be the stack height of the clutch and pressure plate too. Rattle is for sure smf. my m66c does it at idle and even low speed until you have it pretty hot. Even then it's only less audible. A click could be the clutch line wacking the body somewhere or the airbox setup. Is it fed through it's little holder under the airbox tray? That's what keeps it in place, or at least contained. I routed mine through there and I even have some silicone tube around the metal portion to damped further clacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I routed mine through there and I even have some silicone tube around the metal portion to damped further clacks. What are you saying the stack height of the clutch/PP would affect? I didn't feed the clutch line through the airbox because it seemed to route just fine without it, and I didn't want to mess with taking the master/hose/slave assembly apart to do so. I could check if it's moving or rubbing anywhere. Here's a video showing the clutch engagement required to get the car to creep slowly without throttle. Notice at the start of the video, the bit of slack that I can lift to get the pedal to fully return. If I have the pedal fully depressed then take my foot off of it quickly so the pedal springs up on its own, it will go all the way back up. But when my foot is letting the pedal back up, it doesn't fully return and has this bit of slack. I think what I really need is a vacuum bleeder for the clutch...

gilber33 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I didn't route mine through the air box and never had any noise issues. Also, my experience was the best way to bleed the clutch was with 2 people. A vacuum bleeder didn't not do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a process of pumping the pedal 12-15 times with the bleeder valve closed, open the valve, close the valve and pump, and rinse and repeat until there were no bubbles. We probably repeated that process 20-25 times, and there were definitely no bubbles by the end, but after all that, we collected maybe 100-150mL of brake fluid.

Btw, I've been driving for a few years now with only one e-code headlight glass I replaced one side shortly after getting the car and forgot all about it. Didn't realize they were different until the foggy weather just recently E-code side was definitely worse in the fog. I may have to change out for a pair of DOT ones... Yeah, that's what happens when you put a ECE lens on a DOT reflector........you have to swap the glass AND the reflector. Cheaper to just buy a whole Depo ECE housing at that point.

sventastic Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) R.I.P. my upper engine mount. New IPD poly in place, and bought the Viton oil cap seal to see if that will keep oil from ending up on the cam cover. PCV should still be in great shape so I don't think that's the issue. Slight difference here. Had to vacuum the friggin debris out first Firewall mount is also pretty dickered OEM oil cap seal on the left, IPD seal on the right The IPD seal (left) clearly covers more area - I think the inner diameter is slightly smaller Edited August 3, 2018 by sventastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sventastic Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Nice headliner. Car keeps paying me back by stealing my credit card. New front wheel bearing is also on order Edited August 10, 2018 by sventastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted August 10, 2018 Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 I just pulled the headliner on my 2000 V70R to swap the sunroof. It's really not too bad to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not too worried, just annoyed because I won't have time to replace it before heading back to Victoria, and Chapman's would probably charge a stupid price for a used one. So might be worth reskinning this one. Also my A/C compressor stopped working a few weeks ago, so that's been great in this heat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sventastic Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Mid-August I finally had time for a full exterior detail. Got a new Griot's orbital polisher which made things infinitely easier! I hadn't polished it for a year and a half, and hadn't waxed it for 8 months. Finally got rid of the pinstripes and IPD decal on the back too. Removed the front right trim piece and then realized it was double-sided taped on there, fixed that after the photos. 4 weeks later, the paint still looks completely fresh, compared to the last time I polished it when it started fading again within a few weeks. Then the next week I had to replace a wheel bearing, swapped in new struts and strut bearings, got an alignment, and hit the quarter-million km mark Now just shy of 5000km on the manual swap (Photo dump incoming) Edited September 21, 2018 by sventastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your photo signature haunts me lol. In 2 years I hope to get collector/antique plates for this thing so it can be a cheap second car to insure then I can really mess with it... If only this thing would just chill out mechanically for a bit though. Getting a full throttle misfire now, and it's burning a lot of oil since the manual swap I think the misfire is just plugs as they've done about 50k, and oil burning hasn't been investigated yet.
