Not sure, but there is an issue with radiator coolant leaking into the transmission in cars with Valeo radiators. Check if your car has the Valeo rad. If it has it should be repalced, the problem is if it happens it affects the transmission badly. 36k is low mileage.

The valeo issue causes vibrations and noises at 1500 to 2000 RPM, low on fluid??? not a normal fault that comes up much, a dirty valve block can do this, but as you say Olaf worth checking to see if it has the valeo rad though this ended 09 03
