Ok, long time no update, basically beavering away at the teardown (as I get time).
I found the problem today, and I'm glad I found it before tearing the whole damn engine apart (I probably didn't even have to remove the engine but meh...)!
I removed the oilpan and look what was swinging free; ...
Basically, there's a spring attached to a fork in the transmission that is readily accessible once you remove the oilpan.
Next pic is a closeup by the yellow pliers...
This spring was broken at the end it attaches to the case, the other end was still attached to the fork.
Unfortunately the broken end wasn't to be found in the catch basin, I'm going to try to look further, and maybe try to flush it out with warm oil? Maybe it's magnetic?
The Suzuki part number appears to be#09443-08026Advise always welcome.
