Hello all.
As the thread title suggests I have a gearbox vibration issue with my 2014 XF 2.0 petrol. 190000 km on the clock (118000 miles). The gearbox operates perfectly from 1st through to 8th however I can feel vibration in 6th gear only and only after I shift from 5th to 6th - if I down shift from 7th to 6th there is no vibration. When there, the vibration frequency varies with speed (and RPM) and disappears as soon as the transmission shifts to another gear or I shift manually. The vibration is also more pronounced under load but is still there when coasting in 6th.
I reset the adaptions using SDD and followed the process to re-adapt which made zero difference. I have read about problems with gearbox mountings and guibo joints but the fact that it only happens in 6th gear and at all speeds, makes these items unlikely candidates. I have not changed the oil yet due to advice I received suggesting not to waste money until someone can hopefully positively say what the problem may be.
Does anyone have any ideas?
