Ok, got your attention.
You gurus out there may be able to peg this right away and I would be most appreciative of any help.
This sounds ridiculous but when I'm just gliding not under power at around 40 to 50 km or backing off through that range I get the most subtle but obvious little warbling ray gun sound come up through the auto shift stick and associated subtle vibration.
All good at any other speed.
Would like to get an idea of what this might be, then get in early so it hopefully does not become a big problem.
Love this car.

Actually it's on the low side.
Going to top it this weekend.
What types are recommended?

Toyota Type IV or marked equivalent for the A340E transmission. Of course you don't know what you have in there at the moment I guess...

Ah!
Here's a reference to my ray gun noise and shudder!

Think a full flush is in order.

Got the flush done and plenty of crap fluid came out but shudder still there.
Hope it's not the start of something expensive.
Wondering what a service would do?

i no this sounds wierd but get your rotors checked, one of them might be warped and this would cause the problem you are having

Hey Adam
Rotors? Do you mean rotor buttons in the distributor?
The shudder is always at specifically 38-48 kph irregardless of what gear I'm in or if the overdrive is on/off so dont know if thats indicative of anything.
And no Adam I had the car looked over at S&LS in Ferntree Gully and Doug said it all looked good and test drove with me but DUH, I forgot to mention the shudder to him!
Dont know whether they looked specifically at the mounts.
Seems stronger when it's cold.

Might be worth checking the whole drive line for any loose bolts. I had a strange shudder that started at 80kph and finished at 83kph accelerating, coasting and decelerating. Turned out to be a missing bolt in the front uni.
Good luck

Thanks Damon
When I finally get the chance to get under the thing I'll let you know what I find.
