More of a "grumble" than vibration

Hello all. Call me crazy, but my lust for a TL got me to purchase one the only way I could afford it, with high mileage. While it is in beautiful, almost unbelievable appearance shape, my 2005 does have 91,300 on it! Got a good deal I feel at $13k, so I am okay.
Overall it is awesome, I requested them to go ahead and do the 105k service of timing belt etc, and was granted. Recently took it on a small trip of just a couple hundred miles. All went very well, and I am in love. However I notice a "grumble" or light vibration when keeping car between about 50-65 mph. Nothing else except that range. Almost like a manual in too high of a gear, but mine is the 5AT. Wife actually noticed it w/o me mentioning, so I knew it wasn't in my head. I have a 6mo/6k powertrain warranty from dealer, so I have a little time.
Gotta say though, these cars are all I thought they were, and I love going out in garage to see the beauty every day. Instead of just drooling over someone elses in passing. I think passing a car on a two lane road has never been so fun.

I found that long thread. Thanks for the help. At least I'm not alone, but I believe the TSB was for '04 only.
