Hi DruryPnj, welcome, have a look at the other threads in the engine and trans section. It appears to be a known "problem" with the IS 200, mine is the same, but not every time going from first to second. There are plenty of members with the same "charcteristic" so i dont think your local dealer should try and fob you off, especially if they are keeping an eye on this web-site as some say.
