Re:Weird grind\rattle taking off in 1st gear 2019 Jimny

My Jimny has started making the same noise over the past couple of hundred miles.

In Durban. I took it to the Suzuki dealer in Pinetown.

So latest update from my dealership. The warranty repair has been approved by Suzuki South Africa.

The replacement part ETA ... 9 November.

When asked why so long, I was advised that this part is part of an official "recall campaign" and there are many cars needing this part. This dealer alone has two other cars in the queue in front of me.

Just as an FYI, having done quite a lot of off-roading in deep sand this part week, the problem exists in 4H when taking off, and is quite clear when the vehicle is under pressure to get going in the sand. Never consciously noticed it in 4L.

I'll update in a months time when the part comes in.

Last friday I got my Gen 4 with only 20km and 2 days latter I noticed this exact same noise when slowly taking off in 1st gear. Relieved to hear I'm not the only one but still it's weird. I'm taking it tomorrow to the dealership. I'll post whatever they tell me in case it's useful. I'm in Costa Rica btw.

Update: They said that's a normal noise.......... ... oh well hopefully it's not serious and it doesn't get worse

l can't see it being the transfer box chain, but let see if it cures the problem.
Ours has stopped making the noise, l still say it's the spigot bush.
From my experience with Land Rovers where you get exactly the same noise.
lt never causes an issue and most owners leave it until the clutch needs changing.
