Well, as it turns out, Gary McMillan just played around with the valves, result, no difference, car still surges and farts about.

Really REALLY don't like this,. at the very least Toyota should have told us what was wrong, and what work was done, we received no repoty detailing what work was done at all.

Time to take this to Toyota Australia...anyone here got an idea what the best way to go about that is?

For those wondering about the surge/lag between gear changes, I've been told that Toyota has recognised this as a fault and are working on a fix for it. The word is that there is a problem with the ECU/TCU code that causes some dodgy calculations in the lower gears.

Can't wait for this fix, as the flaring is getting worse and I can't imagine does good for the transmission!

Dave,

Any idea who "told you"

My Aurion suffered this problem, and after much denial from the service department of Cannon Toyota ("we can't fault the car," they kept telling us), agreed to send it to Gary McMillan Toyota, who apparently do transmission for Toyota, to investigate.

Before it even left Cannon Toyota, I received a phone call telling me that Gary McMillan were just going to replace the transmission outright!!

I kid you not!

That smacks of a "known issue" for sure, no way they would just replace a trannie just because I rang up and asked nicely!

...interesting
