Now its 2k miles later and I have a grinding in 4th and 5th on the down shift as well as a grinding and a noticeable clunk into second gear both up and down shift. Took it to the dealer and they claim to not be able to replicate the issue but are bringing a Toyota specialist in to drive with me in the car and attempt a diagnosis.
Hope you get a good trans as your replacement unlike me. I am fearing that these first year models are lemons....  |

LeeMaster I'd have to check the VIN...
EDIT: Last 4 on VIN: 3XXX
I guess I will stand by my dealer then, they did not question, did not challenge if it was my fault or not. New tranny is in today, I am dropping it off tonight and they are giving me a loaner for a few days.
They also took care of my chirping, that was 1500 miles ago and they are still not back *knock on wood*. When they did the crickets one of the mechanics got my interior messy, I mentioned it and they immediately addressed it by having a full inside/outside detailing done by a local shop.
Hopefully this will be the end of my issues, I absolutely love the car, but having warranty items makes me weary of modifying the car. I have had good luck so far with them, but I also have no performance modifications.
