Default my IS250 AWD with 4,500 miles has rough tranny..

Well, I might be acting as over-sensitive, but is this normal to feel the gear shifts up and down on 1 though 3rd gear on my IS with ONLY 4,500 miles on it? I mean, it would be understandable to have a light feeling of gear shifting up and down, but it is somewhat light rough feeling, which makes me worry since I bought it as a BRAND NEW and it was a big investment for me.
Does anyone have this problem on your ISx50? Or may be it's because my IS is AWD?

My 250AWD transmission is SMOOOOTH as butter... EXCEPT when not coming to a full stop, then hitting the gas, then it jerks pretty bad.

So is this an AWD only issue?

Either there is some issue on AWD tranny or I'm too sensitive.

i don't feel any shifting unless i'm using the paddle shifters and i'm shifting at higher rpm.

maybe it's your driving style?

i normaly drive like an old lady bcuz I still have only 950 miles on it =P

sooooon i'll be letting it go more often

Do you guys feel this on PWR mode or regular mode? I feel it some times, but only on PWR mode....which might be a normal occurence because PWR mode is designed to keep the rpm's revving higher..so it will jerk when trying to stop, and then accelerating again.

I actually feel it on normal mode. when I drive on pwr mode, then no issues, but my car only has 5,000 miles on it and I still treat it as a baby and I don't rev high.
