Some times it vibrates I feel it from front right wheel at 80 km/hr , and at 120 km/hr light vibration from rear , like unbalanced wheel
The mechanic changed the filter

I read in this forum we have to flash the gear so that to remove dirty lubricant in the coolant
Do you thing I have to flash it or just change the lubricant
And should I have change the filter again?
Excuse my language , english is not my native language
Thanks for your kind reply
Have a nice day sir 😊

If you feel it from the right front wheel, how could it be the transmission?

First step- balance all 4 wheels

Second step- get 4 new tires

Third step- align the front axle (2 wheels)

Then report back.

I bought this car on April 2018 , it done 169000 km , when I noticed this vibration I changed the 4 tires , brake pads and brake disks , the vibrations still
So I changed the front shock absorbers and the bushings and steering shaft bushings and the engine mounts and the vibration still
Just in February 2019 it done 197000 km , I went to the transmission gear technician he told me this because either the gear turbine is bad or the lubricant is dirty
So he check the lubricant And says it's very dirty ,accordingly he change the lubricant And filter and seal
When I drive the car the vibrations gone , just befor 2 weeks it came again some times , now it done 205000 km
So I think I have to change the lubricant again !
So I need your advice ?
Knowing that I live in Iraq in which the temperature in summer about 50 ° C
May be high temperature distroy lubricant early !
