Default Transmission Update

Has been a while since I posted here. In summary have 2007 ES350, build date 7/06. 15k miles. 1st TSIB a year ago, 2nd one 2 months ago, dealer decided to replace trans today. Should I expect this to be the end of the issue ?

Mine was built the same month as yours.

You are rolling the dice. I hope it works out for you. Let me know how it goes.

Nothing. I am waiting for a 100% fix. I have heard too many stories where flashes are completed and trannys replaced and it is no better. I try to keep the tech's hands off my car as much as possible. I am afraid I will get it back and it will be worse.

I am very interested to see your outcome. Please keep me updated. I have my fingers crossed for you!!

Picked car up this morning. Shifting feels completely different vs the old tranny even when it didn't flare, much smoother than before. It's early though, will keep you posted.

Thanks. Keep us updated.

Does anyone happen to know what build date a car should have to not need this TSB?
