    Not sure, but you should never drive slowly in fifth gear.

    5th is designed as an overdrive gear.

    vibration

    No I don't drive that slowly in 5th but it seems to occur if accelerating. 4th gear too. It goes through this period of vibration then settles down smoothly.

    Can I ask why this is in "Bio Fuels" ?
    Do you think it's a fuel related fault ?

    Sorry if I have missed something here.........

    You might have to do some experimenting to isolate a few things.

    See if it's engine rev releated - can you get it to happen while the car is stationary ?
    Does it happen at the same road speed ?

    5TH should only be used for 75-80 kph plus, off course you will get vibes.
