    No zerks means more money for the dealer when having to replace. Gotta love the 3rd gen

    ^^^ This.

    No zerks? Should gen 3 owners expect to get 250K miles without concern about lubrication? My '03 has zerks and I get a good feeling being able to prevent future problems by lubing them once a year at minimum.

    I agree, almost positive it is gas sloshing in the tank. Does not ever happen when the tank is full or when it is real low.

    I drove a 2016 SR that did the same thing, it was the pilot bearing still having torque on it. I was told it was because the rpm's staying high when letting off the gas pedal while pushing in the clutch. I don't know a pilot bearing from a dipstick but I drove it 4 years 116,000 miles with out an issue.

    2nd gen MTs do this as well, it’s driveline slack and it’s not a problem. Wait till you off-road it, it’ll have you gritting your teeth. Again, it’s normal.
