Gen6 Wait! Dont shoot!!

haha thousand apologies for bring up this issue back up again but my concern is this stupid V6 tranny flare. i know all about it and what not, i jux got my car back today from the dealer for fixing the tranny flare, but this time all the tech did was recalibrated the ECM i believe, and the flare is still there! Now this is my 2nd time taking it in and now im thinking maybe I shoudl take it to another dealer and have them look at it and maybe someone from their would fix the problem. Also considering writing a letter to Toyota HQ seeing what they can do

the issue is, when i got back i started to pull up old threads about it and started to read some posts and kinda lost hope as i continued to read. From what I've read, this issue can NOT be fix, AND from a couple of ppl have said is it makes the flare even worse by taking it in and attempting to fix it....sooo...whats the deal? fixable or no?

Well I had my transmission replaced in late May (due to an unrelated death) and the new tranny (together with new ECU programming) does NOT flare. My car is an 07 SE V6.
