40-45 MPH Vibration in a new '02 PT Automatic
Hello to all my fellow PT enthusiasts! I am a new owner of an '02 LTD Cruiser with A/T and ABS. I sensed a very "slight" vibration in the passenger compartment (not a shimmy in the the steering wheel) between 40-45 mph the first day and returned to the dealer immediately. I'm told that the vibration is caused by the torque converter lockup that happens at 40mph and is "normal" for Cruisers with A/T. If you're looking for it, you can feel the shift point just before the vibration begins at 40mph. The vibration, (which is felt right through the seats), is most noticeable at 42mph and smooths out at 45mph and is really only noticeable when you maintain speed in that 40-45 range. This may be one of those "nature of the beast" issues that many cars have, but I would appreciate any feedback from other owners and their experiences.
Have fun cruising...
