More like slight vibrations at a certain speed and vibrations disappears above or below that speed
Possible causes:
Worn Engine/Transmission mounts
Worn axles/shafts (Pair) inner and outer
Bad, tyres/ bent rims

Start from the simplest and work your way up

Solved

Turns out the inner cup/CV (Continous Velocity) joints were bad.
The bearings on the joints anf the cups were replaced.

Vibrations stopped.

Thanks for your input 👍

Hello everyone,

I drive a Lexus ES 350 2010 model and I want to service my gearbox (oil change) for the first time since I bought the car in December 2023.

From my research, I need to use the Toyota WS AT FLUID and allow the gear cool down before performing the service.

My problem right now is where to get the genuine oil. I reside in Ibadan and will appreciate any direction to a vendor that sells genuine products.

My Bosses! Please glk 350 2012 gear noise when shifting gears. No error codes or check. It's driving well, but the noise when shifting to park, neutral, reverse, or drive is bothersome..

Have a very competent technician look at it.

Is the transmission fluid low or filter dirty?

Yeah it works for all , only thing is you might need to confirm if you’ll be getting the L shaped ones or the straight ones cause of space.

Run a compression test on all cylinders to know if it's the engine or Turbo charger.

Ask your technician to look at the Turbo charger again for signs of wear and tear.
Did you replace with a new or used Turbocharger?

Hey bro , thanks so much for sharing your experience with me ! I’m really curious to know more.

What kind of car did you have this issue with? Was it a 2016 CLA 250 or a different model?

And what exactly happened? Was the car stuck in park or were there any other weird symptoms?

I know someone in Warri that I can recommend if its fine by you let me know.

That said, what messed your car up are two things,
Oil quality amd oil change interval and dirty air filter.

I use motorcraft oil which is the oil for ford car.
And i do my service every two months.
My mechanic was a novice to turbocharger problem so he messed up why trying to find why the smoke was heavy.
I don't mind the guy in warri coming to check

2013 C300 I am a diagnostic technician,the electrician called me to to run a diagnosis on the car,it was stuck on the park.
We discovered no 12v to the ISM,blown fuse cause it.
