fleming442 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I've been getting a strange vibration in low rpm, 2nd gear. The car is an 02 OBW/ 2.5/ auto, 145k mi. The fluid was changed (whatever the drain plug will let out) at 137k along with the filter. Is this a torque converter on the way out? I noticed it a couple of months ago, leaving work. I thought it was a rough patch in the road, as it happens in the same place everyday (about 1.5 mi. out). Then, I started noticing it in other places, which leads me to question the trans. I also have a slightly delayed engagement from reverse/ park to forward. There are no idiot lights on the dash, and everything else seems to work. I am just wondering if I should be concerned and look for a lower mileage trans. or, throw a bottle of Trans-X in and let'er eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abog Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 typically a converter will chatter at the high rpm point just before the trans shifts up. Vibrations can come from anywhere in the driveline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
