The Auto in my 1998 2.8L Z3 has a warble/vibration noise at 38 kmph. Happens both in auto and locked in second, so it's not a shift valve. Only happens when the transmission is cold.

Car has done 62,000 km, so is virtually new

Thinking of changing the fluid to DEX6, which has a slightly lower viscosity to simulate a warm transmission when cold and see if the noise goes away.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a plan. Change the filter too.
