Default 350 Transmission Shimmy

During acceleration, I feel a shimmy in the transmisison as it changes gears. Any ideas? RX350 '07...75,000 kms.

Ours does this too, but I assume its normal. Our car only has 17K miles on it. Its usually 2nd - 3rd, medium acceleration.

Exactly! Did you have a dealership take a look at it? Everything else about this car is great...which allows me to not be too concerned about it.

I haven't had the dealer look at it. Its only mild and occasional in our car, so I'm not worried about it. And its been doing it as long as I can remember.

You have plenty of room left on the powertrain warranty right? So don't worry about it...yet.

I'd like to know if other people have this issue as well. I always think I'm overly sensitive to what the car is doing, but its interesting that someone else noticed it as well.

my 07 RX does it, i took it to the dealer and its normal. the imporatant thing is you take it to the dealer while its under warranty, so they can input it into the service history computer. that way theres a record of this trend if it becomes a major problem later...
