Just on the possibility that someone out there has already dealt with these problems; My 1992 9000 Turbo w/ auto transmission has a disturbing vibration at idle when in drive. The idle speed seems correct (~800-900rpm) and I have read that it's computer controlled and can't be adjusted anyway. The vibration is not bad in Neutral or when you first come to a stop, but after a few seconds of idling it really sets up a buzz. I'm thinking I should do a flush, filter and fluid change on the tranny. I recently bought the car (with 57k miles on it) and don't imagine the trans has had much TLC. If that doesn't work, I figured I'd do the band adjustment and see if that helps. Any other ideas? Also, same car, the "low oil level" light comes on (or stays on at start-up) intermittently. Naturally I have checked and the oil level is fine. Is the level sensor in the sump knopwn to go south on these? I will have to trace out the wiring and make sure it's not a loose connection. Any help would be appreciated, Regards, Fred Wills '92 9000 Turbo '93 9000 CSE
