Default vibration

Hey every1 i have had my car for a good 2 weeks Now it only has 13k Miles on it.. 00 z28 A4..Now my question is when i am driving at about 50 MPH just crusing and such. I get a funny vibration in my Gas peddel its enough to go up my leg and such.. It seems to be right before it shifts itself into 3rd but i have to touch the gass a little more if oyu knwo what i mean for it to get rid of the vibration..even before it hits 3rd.. i was wondering if any of you guys out there with a 00 a4 have ever noticed this in ur CAR. i was thinking that it could be just not enouhg fule or somting along thoses lines..Should i be worried. COULD it LEAD to somthing bigger later down the ROAD..

I get a vibration, similar to yours, too. I have had it since I can remember, even before moding it. I thought it was tuning, but, after good dyno tune, it didn' t change. I wonder if it is the driveshaft, or in the rear end. Funny thing is, it isn' t always in the same place, RPM or MPH wise. Strange. Unless you get a funny noise, or it gets worse, live with

Have the tires balanced... if that doesnt fix it then flush the tranny fluid... if theres condesation in it then it can slip causeing a vibration... i know we have a problem with that on the 300C hemi's that come into the dealership that i work at,

Thats my 2cents
