Are TSB usually something Toyota covers? Ive been reading you might have to pay for them to perform them on your car? Gah makes no sense lol

The 36,000 mile warranty or 36 months is the Bumper to bumper...Powertrain warranty is 60,000 miles 5 years no?

Either way ill get it done before the 36,000 mile mark..

I did notice today it doesnt shift untill 35mph and unless you catch that gear it will feel like you stated "clutch type downshift pulling like in a manual" not sure if thats what your talking about?

I also noticed that once it goes into 6th it feels like a manual when you have it in to high of a gear and to low of a speed, specially if im feathering the gas...If I give it more gas itll downshift gears fine...Almost a shuddering type feeling though best describes it...

I didnt get any rough shifts into 3rd this morning...1st time lol...Probably cause I warmed up the engine for 5 mins and the fluid got warmed up perhaps? that and I was heavy on the gas running late this morning to work so it didnt get feathering like most mornings. It didnt happend on my way home either though weird.I dont like the traction control either...Im use to if I gun it itll go and spin tires on my 05 camry...The traction control took over stop wheel spin an it felt like it took a couple of seconds to go lol... I read somewhere The 7th gen Camry has a transmission warmer to enhance shift feeling at cold operating temps and to help it get to operating temp faster as well...Which in return gives it better fuel economy? makes sense I suppose and I do notice the engine does warm up faster than my other Camry lol..

Ill definitely have them do the TSB though...Not sure if it will actually help any...Is the same transmission used in all the Camry's? Id assume the v6 one gets a different one and hybrids do as well...But 4 cyl wise between all the different models is what im asking? Did it change since 2012? or just the programming? Id like to get a 2014 transmission update lol...perhaps the ecm wont allow that though?

I did thanks, I found this on a goggle search http://media.fixed-ops.com/Toy_ServiceBulletins/sb0050t12.pdf

No modification sticker under hood so Id assume its never been done on this car..

It only has 31,000 miles, just purchased it with 30k from the GM dealership used car side I work at.....Like I said though its only 1st thing in the morning. I even usually let the car warm up for a few mins before driving anyways...It seems to be as soon as it goes into 3rd...once warm it doesnt happen, or not as noticable atleast?. I'll Check tomorrow morning when I head to work to see how frequent it does it..I do notice it likes to hold a gear longer than normal...But on the highway which is what Ive mostly drove this car on so far cause I drive my 05.5 camry to work and around town as a daily beater, It drives fine... Im very pleased with the car thus far. Perhaps Ill wait till it needs an oil change and just have the dealer do that as well as
get the "ECM Calibration Update: Shift Feeling Enhancement" done to this car considering it falls under the early model problems..Then check out to see the airbag recall and if it even applies to my car.

The warranty should still cover 2nd owners Id assume no? It does at our dealership. Either way I purchased a Warranty through our dealership so im covered till 90,000 miles bumper to bumper, but the factory warranty still applies Id assume given the mileage and age?

Just looked , My camry was built in 2/12...I sometimes feel this jerk but only in early mornings when its getting to operating temp..You mentioned a TSB? do you have the TSB #? Im wondering if I should take it there and have them reflash it or what not...Is this something they cover cost wise or do I have to pay for it?

I see something about recalls about the airbags possibly going off...I guess they could look into that once I go there...But Id like to have a TSB # to show them and tell them what needs to be done etc..
