there are infact bad clutch cables sold for this car, seen them
the first clue is its not a steel out flex cable but is plastic,
,yes, 5th gear wobble will make noise, it is caused by running low on GL4, and that is mostly caused by the loss of the 2 top seal corks on the shift rails, they fall out and transmission slowly leaks GL4 and it goes low and damages internal parts. (reason is, defected Suzuki glue there)
part 35 fifth gear, spline death, seen here. on the rear of the main cluster gear set. note said gear is splash lubricated, so needs GL4 there all the time. up top is worse this way, needs full GL4 to receive more slash effects. My PO ran his box until the front cluster gear ,glowed cherry red. (the gear is bright blue now. parked on bench, with steel like butter)
faster list?
fast idle can be a daunting task, but need not be in most cases.
pinch hoses, or cork them. drops RPM now?
unplug the ISC wire plug, 400rpm is common, with other air leaks it still screams. above 800 rpm.
DP retracted?, a 1 second test , eyeballed hot, and failing, all tests while failing, of this fails ,we stop and fix it now.
IAC (thermaL) (clog its input port someway, this is the only hard test, ) IF FAILS PROVE THE HOT WATER REALLY DOES FLOW HERE, MANY TIMES NOT. AND IS BAD, FIX FLOW NOW.
idle stop screw not molested, the TV must be closed, in fact LOOK at it. that screw and the TV to bore must be closed. (air horn off) throttle cables set to factory 10mm free play.
bleed, screw in it till it hits strops count turns so you can put it back as it was, rPM drop below 800? now? at any time during this test? It must... or ISC can not do its job, ever.
most of these are fast checks, not hard at all.
one will fail, or if none fail above, then you have MR VACUUM leak from H3LL, (gaskets>?)
Case in point.
even as simple as this, one guy with bad EGR leaking and RPM at 400, his mech turn the bleed out to max, CCW to fix it and did not put it back after fixing EGR.
then it screams, all it was is BAD SERVICE and one screw set wrong or he OMG played with the throttle stop screw, like the CARB days. him a carb guy thinks EFI is carbs, and is not. 1991+
THE ISC can work one day, then not the next due to its duty cycle set wrong, and today is a hotter day and the next straw breaks the camels back and ISC loses controls. Duty cycle set wrong.
gears :?

here is a shorter list. (this works on all EFI cars, made, only the parts moved about to confuse us)
1: vacuum leaks,abnormal, gaskets hoses. etc, (on 16v add injector cushions leaking)
2: or normal leaker's failing ISC/IAC malf's. (including, dead, stuck or hot water is not flowing there)
3: car was sabotaged. a man with a screwdriver turning screws never to be turned, or not doing Duty cycle calibration correctly.
