So that shows its an issue with the gearbox possibly?The interesting thing is when I did a ecu reset one time, the vibration went away for 1 day then came back again.For info, this vibration has been at the same level since I got the car till now even.Mechanic says there must be a problem with the gearbox internals but am not so sure.I was thinking of replacing my ATF (I have never replaced ATF before and am not sure what oil the previous owner used); but am not sure if this is the fix.Can anyone pls advise on what I could possible do/check?Cheers,Pro</p></blockquote><p></p>
