Default Transmission rev/slip from 2 to 1 in when cold

Does anyones RX 350 (mine is 2013) produce a slight bump in revs as you decelerate moderately going from 2nd gear to 1st? It goes away after the tranny is warmed up. Wondering if it's just a result of the cold weather.

My wife mentioned something about that she felt the tranny's shifts more the other day (-20 C) when she started and took off. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary though. Mine's the 8-speed though.

It's only when coming to a stop. I took a bad quality video so I'll try to post a link to it.

Link to Video

You'll see the revs jump about 300 rpm near the end. The car was warming up but it can jump up to 500rpm on the first few stops when cold.

^^^ Can't access the video. Check that your heater fan is off and note if you see a difference.
