So I'm not sure if this is infact a problem or if this is just the way these TL's are supposed to feel but when I get up to 50mph and stay there for a second...then give it some gas to get up and go again it feels like its vibrating a tad. Kinda feels like its in too high of a gear and the RPM's are too low so its making it scurge for power to get up and go.

So if the speed limit is 50mph and I'm going 50mph on a flat surface...if I have to accelerate to go up a hill or pass someone, it feels as if it's starting as such low RPM's that it has a slight tone and vibration for I'd say 2-3 mph's (52-53ish) and then it goes away. It doesn't happen anywhere else...Any idea's??


Car has 104k miles but I wouldn't think it'd be related to the water pump, belts, spark plugs that need to be replaced @ 105K.

Thanks for the help guys!

Ok I just read the 3G Garage 11 page thread on the driveline vibration at 50-60 and it seems that some people are getting a fix from replacing the axles (not sure F or R) or installing a dampener <--spelling? In the thread they were stating that the dampener would be installed/replaced under warranty but mine doesn't have a warranty so I'm guessing it'd have to be a recall of some sort.

Just a college student here trying to figure out wtf is wrong so I can fix it....

At that speed/rpm in fifth, the engine is lugging and personally I believe it's just the nature of the TL, certainly not the axles/CV joints. Many have tried to fix the 1500/1700 vibration, some say it worked, some say it didn't. Don't worry about it.
