dont flush, drain and fill only -
Getting warmer here, gearbox smoother all the time. Occasional funny shifts when coasting and letting off the throttle. Hard throttle shifts are smooth. Funny gearbox, maybe more direct then my past BMW with an ZF box. Maybe these Aisins are different in their philosophy..

Yes, this is the case, when up to temp, changes are smooth. But when you drive 5km at -25celsius to work, all changes are noticeable.

This lumpy 5 to 6 usually when cold, i e the first change of the day. Now when temperatures here in Finland are not russian hell style anymore the box is much smoother from start. I bought the car in november last year. Its been a cold winter. Oil has been drain/fill once, and the stuff that came out was good, no smell/colour off. Car has 112k miles. I might have some bad bushings in the drivetrain as well, ill check when i have time.

Same thoughts here about the tranny on my IS250. When cold a bit jerky, when warmed up smoother. Sometimes when warm, shift from 5 to 6 can sometimes be lumpy, but not always. Not the smoothest gearbox imho, but i hope its ok.
