Did them performing the tsb help?

The TSB smoothed out things a bit on cold starts but there was a slight increase in gear whine.

Brake squeak/squeal - rear brakes - built 7/19/2011 through 12/1/2011

Interesting that this only affects Job2 cars. Sounds like they changed the design of the "anti-rattle spring clips" and are reverting to the original design.

I am having a ticking thats only present during cold start and usually goes away in minute or less.Does not seem to be valvetrain/motor.Thinking maybe exhaust matallic tap on heat shield or maybe a cat going bad.Car only has 5000 miles.Has been there since I bought it with 2800 miles.Anybody else get this? I am using aftermarket catback w/ X-pipe. (Borla)Still chasing source for now.

Thanks for continuing to keep us updated!!! This is a TSB I might actually consider having done.

Automatic transmission - 2-3 and 4-5 upshift harsh- flare - harsh or delayed reverse engagement - built on or before 12/20/2010

What is a "shift flare"?

Update,. I definitely have this issue with the upshifts. Will this TSB change my tune? It says "Install IDS scan tool and clear transmission keep alive memory."

Cole is there a TSB for a 2012 using unusual amounts of oil? Say 2 quarts every 1500 miles of normal use.
