Transmission Vibration at steady throttle??

dazz100 · 02-02-2021, 04:19 AM

Hi

I have a 2007 E90.
After about 20 minutes driving I get vibration from under the car that appears to be related to the transmission. The vibration feels like the car is driving on badly formed corrugated road.

It happens as low as 40kph, up to about 100kph.
The vibration appears to be related to engine rpm and not drive shaft/ wheel rpm.
The vibration occurs with a steady throttle. If I add throttle, the vibration goes away. If I take my foot off the throttle, the vibration goes away. It is worst at 80kph to 100kph.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Could this be torque converter shudder for you? Usually it will do it when the drivetrain is warm and accelerating with light throttle. Goes away with more throttle input and in manual mode
