vibration at idle

hello all,

recently I had my car at the stealer because my transmission shifting is hard rough, like always everything was "fine" I told the tech that a couple of weeks before I had reset the memory and shifting was better, he said he was going to reset the thing again using his software since what I did doesn't erased completely all the memory .
I said fine

after that a couple days later, I noticed when I'm at idle, I can barely hear like a buzzing sound also little bit of vibration on my steering wheel, the noise you can barely hear it, but gets to the point that my ears bother me..

anyone having similar problems?? light vibration on steering wheel at idle, not on park.

thanks

Vibrations are- as should be obvious- a PITA to diagnose....

Op, I suspect that what happens is that when you shift into gear you are engaging the teanny, now loading the engine. The ATF is cold, viscous and loads the engine... Engine and trsnny mounts have degraded a bit, and you hear some vibrations... Barf quickly spins up, heats, maybe the engine rpms increase and it goes away....
