I had the tranny clunk TSIB fixed also... I think this tranny isn't a "learning" tranny, but the total opposite; the driver has to learn IT!?! (and it worked, I must admit)

I believe my appointment was made, and when I brought it in to have it done, he said he found it in his TSIB notes.
They giving you heat??

Anyone else having the same issues? Isn't there some TSIB about the jerking?

I've a 2005 RX 330 with the same problem and I also have a friend that has a 2004 RX300 with the same deficiency. The vehicle is due for it's 8000Km service soon so I'll find out what the service guys have to say. If I get explanations that mean they're not going to fix it then watch the skies over Toronto because the big ballon will be going up.
