I've balanced my wheels, alignment and taken it into the dealer. The dealer says there is nothing wrong with the car. So, whatever, I think its the trans and maybe ISS...

I have the same vibration! In skewl we learned that if you overtighten the wheels you can cause that...or at least thats what I got out of it lol. Let me know if I'm right. Our wheels are only supposed to be at 80 lb ft iirc and most people just use the air gun at max setting.

2. Install the wheel nuts using J 39544-KIT .
Tighten
Tighten the nuts in a criss/cross pattern to 140 N·m (100 lb ft).

I think having front tires road force balanced is the way to eliminate vibration.
