Hey. Whenever my engine is warmed up, it makes this vibration sound only in gears 3-5 and always around 2200k rpms. Have no clue. It sounds like it's from the front of the engine and not the tranny but yiur guess is as good as mine

Anyone?

I had a vibration sound on my car. Turned out it was the heat shield in the the bottom cat. 3-4 dollar fix with a hose clamp. On my old tl it rattled as well until it fell off.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna take a look at the heat shield then

snitko23

Now can anyone tell me where the heat shield is located?

stevemk07

It under the car about half way back or a little less... Hard to miss it... Connects to the j-pipe. I couldnt tell much by looking at it but putting the clamp around it and clamping it down definitely got rid of the noise.

I'm guessing it's pretty noticeable then. Ok thanks
