Actually, so have I, both on my '02 and '04. The sound is one a sticky lifter would make.

It is very intermittent. By that I mean, I will start it up, it will sound terrible (and will stay that way the whole time it is on - VERY noticeable), then a day later, I will start it out, and I won't hear it again for a month.

Because of that, the garage has been unable to find anything (of course, it never acts up for them).

If they find something, I will post it.

Manual Gearboxs - This is caused by the vibration in the cables on the selectors Either change down or don't accelerate so hard. Does not normally happen above 3000 rpm. Info from a Kia mechanic.

By "Manual Gearboxes" you mean a stickshift version of the Sedona? I didn't know there was one - I thought they all were 5-speed automatics.

At the risk of stereotyping, look outside of your borders occasionally. The standard gearbox for most cars in Europe, for instance, is manual.

I didn't know the Sedona existed outside the US/Canada. I thought it was the 2.9L diesel Carnival.

Looks like your knowledgebase has broadened then.
