Vibrating Jaguar S-Type transmission
I have a Jaguar S-Type 2.7 Diesel Automatic, 05-plate with 77k miles.
There is a shaking/vibration from the transmission when it is accelerating between 40 to 50 MPH.
Once the car has reached between 50 to 60 MPH this disappears. This is more apparent when climbing hills.
The dealer suggested that it was contamination of the oil in the gearbox but this has been sent to Jaguar's test lab and has proved negative. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Could be due to a failed ATF heat exchanger in the radiator. Same problem that affects Mercedes.

When I start my Golf in the morning the engine shakes a lot after a few minutes. The traction contol system sign comes up. I can feel vibration in my car while driving and engine noise is different.
Our VW Sharan TDi 1.9. Makes a loud vibrating sound (very audible inside car). Just listening around it appears to be coming from the back of engine / steering rack area. Also it only vibrates when idling....
I have a BMW 318d, 2006 model, and at 80mph there is a bad vibration coming from the rear. I had the tyres tracked and balanced, but to no effect. What could be the problem?
