What kind of vibration does a 40 mph car have?
My 2004 VW Touareg 4.2L V8 runs well up to 40 mph (or 1st thru 3rd gear). Once my car gets above 40 mph (or goes into 4th gear) and only while accelerating, I get an extreme vibration. When I take my foot off the gas, the vibration will stop no matter how fast I’m going or what gear I’m in.
What causes a grinding noise when shifting gears?
This may come from a linkage that binds, or that has a bent or broken component. Worn or damaged internal transmission components can also cause a grinding noise, like synchronizers blocking rings, shift forks, and bearings. A dragging clutch may cause noise when shifting gears.

Why does my transmission make a whirring noise?
The most common source for humming or whirring transmission noises is low fluid level or fluid contaminated with metal shavings. There could be a problem with a worn or damaged shaft, shaft end play spacer, or a bearing. Worn transmission bearings are a frequent cause of transmission noise.
What does it mean when your car is vibrating?
The term refers to any deviation from a truly circular spin and it’s measured with a dial indicator. This wheel issue might result in either up and down vibrations or a sideways, wobbly motion in a wheel. Image courtesy of Pixabay.com, hosted under CC0.
