Jerky CVT?
I have an '18 with approx 22k miles. For the past few times, the transmission in normal mode would "jerk into gear" in stop-and-go traffic. As I come to an almost a dead stop (not fully stop), traffic would move and I would press the gas pedal (not aggressively) and the transmission would jerk before taking off. Only happened in this scenario.. other time, transmission is smooth... and no problem whatsoever in S or S+ mode.
Normal? or something I should be concerned? Software update?

First question - Do you have an LC500 or an LC500h? The LC500 does not have a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) but the LC500h does. AFAIK there are no other hybrid LC owners on this forum. Last year only 14 LChs were sold. It's a rare bird indeed.

i have the regular LC. I didn't know the LC uses regular type transmission. Always thought it has the CVT since the shift layout on the dash looks eerily similar to a Prius one.

^^^^The LC500 uses a ten speed auto/manual transmission. The transmission's shift points and driving characteristics (in auto mode) can be adjusted by utilizing the various drive modes. I am not aware of anyone complaining of the symptoms you are detailing.

my beauty runs flawlessly as well - another gem for the universe ! often in normal mode however if
you drive like your daddy told you not too, and lug the motor, or let it stay in too high a gear, it may moan; so
go ahead and use the paddles for what they're for and DOWNSHIFT occasionally and you shouln't shudder so much...
i drive in Sport or Sport +, the default setting, and experience no lag or delay downshifting.
i experience no problem from R to D either....
these cars are engineered so that you engage with them, imo, too
