Default Think I have a problem

Tried to search this but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I have a 2007 accord V6 AT. At low rpm (up to around 2000) I get a slight vibration that I can feel in the steering wheel and gas pedal. Does not matter what gear the car is in, I get the same very light vibration. Car has 56000 miles and seems to run good other then that. Had the tranny fluid changed thinking that might help. Now I'm thinking egr valve......thoughts?

I would have thought an EGR problem would cause misfiring, stumbling & sputtering. When you say "vibration" it sounds more uniform.

Its almost like driving a manual car....if you tried to pass someone without upshifting and just floor it you would get that little vibration feeling as well. Basically its happening when I'm driving and I give it a little gas but not enough to make the car want to upshift. Not sure how to describe it any better.

Try to test-drive a 2007 V-6 at a dealer. As a long-time 4-cyl driver, that sounds normal to me.

Will do, I'm kind of **** about everything on my cars so maybe I'm being over skeptical. Thanks

V-6 is supposed to be smoother than a 4-cyl, but maybe they just program the trans to shift at lower RPM.
