Hello, everyone. I have a 2004 LS with V8, with 116,000 miles. When the transmission shifts from 3rd to 4th and/or from 4th to 5th, there is a vibration as it does so. I bought the car in 2008, with 50,000 miles, and one of the first things I had done (at a dealership) was a change of transmission fluid; nothing else has been done to the transmission. Does this vibration sound like a serious problem is in the future, and if so, can anything be done before disaster?
Also, I'm not sure if this is due to the transmission, but at 60 to 70 mph speeds the car rides smoothly, though every so often a vibration occurs that might not be attributable to the tires - felt mostly as a slight steering wheel shimmy. Can a transmission even cause this type of vibration?
So how worried should I be?
Thanks.
