Good day BITOGers,
My Lexus LS460 with an 8 speed Aisin AA80E transmission with 102,000 miles has a habit of flaring from 2nd to 3rd when the engine has just been started after sitting overnight. The flare is very small (300-500rpm) and it's very smooth. (There is no jerking, slamming into gear etc) Once it's warm it operates normally and I do not observe any slip/flare. The transmission has been serviced (drain and fill completed by Lexus dealer at 82,000 and 98,000 miles) using Toyota World Star fluid.
The strange thing is... When I manually shift through the gears there is no slip/flare at all even when stone cold. ClubLexus has a lengthy thread of over 15 members observing this behavior of all mileages.
What would you guys/gals do in my situation? Thank you for your advice.
