I have just got a brand new 05 swinger 6-way for my Giant DH team. I am running a 400lb spring, around 80 psi in the SPV and two turns of volume.
It has a nock/slap/loose feel in the compression stroke. If you jump on the seat and let it fully rebound it doesn't do it, but if you compress it again before it fully returns (like over consecutive bumps) I can feel what seem like slop before the piston hits the oil. If I up the SPV pressure to about 125psi it stops, but it then feels very sticky with heaps of platform.
I returned it to Manitou as I thought it must have had air in the damper oil. I have just received it back today and it still does it!
What do you think could be the problem? What am I doing wrong? Is it just that the shock is new and needs braking in?
