Re: if you have a 5MT and that "thump"...

if you have that "thump" problem (not an LSD thump), I suggest you call Lexus (800-25-LEXUS) and complain about it...the more people that call, the faster they'll resolve the issue...I was told by the dealer mechanic that Lexus is aware of the "problem" and they are working on it. He was waiting for more info from them.
I know that everyone here has been saying that it's "normal" but if you had a choice of eliminating that sound or keeping it, I'm sure everyone would want to get rid of it...if there was no charge to you
BTW, mine is getting worse. I now have the problem in 4th gear as well.
Please call them if you have that problem...thanks.

Look, every IS 5-speed, thats right, evey IS 5-speed does this. Toyota motorcorp already knows about this, and calling them up will not do a damn thing. Live with it. Turn up the music and you won't hear it.
