They should have revised the transmission, should be an 8-speed.

Completely agree. It is a very weak point in this car. Hopefully, as they adapt this transmission in more vehicles; we can get software updates to improve the shifting and R to D thud.

There is a TSB for the transmission. I highly recommend it. I had the problem you described above and this TSB fixed it.

already had that service done. Trans is just abysmal IMHO. My 13 & 17 LS were much smoother. Even my wife's RX shifts smoother.
