I've noticed an annoying vibration in first gear from rest - lasts for a few seconds then again as it drops into second - again only for a few seconds. The car only has 5,500 kms on it. Any ideas?

If you have no joy there, take it to another dealer. Cheers, Mick _______________________________________________________________ A lot of people aim to achieve

I assume the hardware

Most Holden Gen3/4's have some vibration in them, particularly at lower revs. If you (or Holden) free up the exhaust a little bit, the vibes seem to disappear. Maybe your car has an exhaust that has a bad (restrictive) bend
