Question 04 RX330 tranny hesitation

Folks,

I just came back from the 10,000 mile service on my RX330 AWD. I feel the car is behaving differently (read weird :-) ). It kinda feels like there is delay or an hesitation now at lower speeds when trying to accelerate (around 30 mph and trying to accelerate) which was not there before. I have gone through the available TSBs for the problem and it appears like my car came off the assembly line much after the tranny hesitation problem was fixed. So I am a little confused.

Is there a possibility that something is not calibrated right after the 10000 mile service that is causing the problem? May be the dealer that I went to for the service messed up the calibration or something ?

Would appreciate any thoughts or experiences.

I feel the hesitation on my 2005 AWD as well. Especially, when starting up from a full stop. It feels like the car doesn't want to engage to the next gear. There is like a 1-2 second delay.

Does Lexus have a fix yet??

I thought that was normal on the 330s because of the fly-by-wire acceleartion/tranny

Angry Tranny

Hey I just bought the RX 330 05 like 2 weeks ago and the engine wasnt what i expected. neither was the tranny. I had the nissian small suv and it had a better tranny than what i feel in the lexus. sorry to say but i think it wasnt made to be smooth as it could of been. also when you live in a cold area like i do, Michigan, when u drive it in the morning when u start it, it kind of jerks and not want to go your way, also the accerator is very stiff, i dont know if your having the same problem like mine? lemme know on my thread or pm me.
