April 07 I purchase my LE-V6, within 400mi. I noticed a flare 3-4 shift(300-500rpm)Dealer reset the computer and told me to drive it. Flare continued, Dealer added fluid and reset the computer again, This took care of the hot flare, but it still had the cold flare(first cold shift). The TSB for the valve body was done, along with the computer reset, and programming procedures. Still had the first time cold shift 3-4 flare. After about 12k miles and alot of complaining the dealer and Toyota offered to replace the entire transmission. This was done in September with very little impovement. At this point I was offered my full purchase price toward another Toyota vehicle. I felt this was a limited problem, and decide to stay with the Camry LE V-6, The new vehicle was delivered in Oct. and does have a small flare issue with the 3-4 shift. It only happens after the vehicle is driven and parked for a few hours, then it will flare while shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, only one time, after that its perfect. I believe it is a programming/temperature issue, and does not pose a reliability concern.

07 Camry SE V6 - Dallas, Tx - Manuf. 04/06 - Valve Body Replacement, New Transmission
My car still has a 500 to 1000 RPM flare on cold start. Failed arbitration since wasn't a safety or drivability issue!? Not sure where to go from here.

I see that a handful of others have responded to his forum. I am hoping that someone out there who had had this problem and got it fixed would post there success story and what was done to fix it. After months of on-going trips to my local dealership, as of 1/10/07, they got the go ahead from Toyota to order a new transmission for my XLEV6. I am not very confident that this will fix the issue because from the many posts I have read regarding, the problem still exists but hopefully, it will so that I could put this one down to rest. The transmission should be here within the next couple days and they stated that it should take a day to complete. I intend to discuss my future options before work is started to see what happens next should this not remedy the flare. I will follow up with results.

My 07 Camry SE V6 built 5/06 in kentucky went into the dealership today to get the valve body replaced. My shift flare is VERY minor, and only happens on the FIRST cold shift from 3rd to 4th. I'll post again as soon as I can verify whether it was fixed or not. fingers crossed :|

I had problems with the flare when shifting from 3-4th at 30-40 mph. Back in November the dealership replaced the transmission. This was after they tried replacing the valve body which did not solve the problem. Shortly after the new trans was installed I again experienced the same flare, but only occasionally. Now it has progressed and become consistent again. Additionally it now has the problem of downshifting when taking a corner at low speeds of ~20mph, then when you press the accelerator it revs way up, like around 4K, then slams into gear! My wife has had the slow speed gear slip/slam problem happen twice driving through a parking lot at work. Talk about un-nerving!
We will be contacting Toyota America again about this before we talk to the dealership. This seems to have netted us better attention than just going directly to the dealership as Toyota gives us an incident number and then contacts the dealership with a suggested course of action.
I am considering trading the car for another brand at this point. I will give them one more chance to fix it.
Good luck with your trans swap. Hope it works out better than mine did.
Oh, and the Lexus es350 have had a similar problem:

post 151 of that forum, and the three videos are very interesting / i don't know if that flaring is typical of the stuff other people are experiencing, but it helps people like myself that don't have the vehicle understand what it is.

2007 model year Camry vehicles equipped with the 2GR–FE engine and 6–speed automatic transmission, produced BEFORE the Production Change Effective VINs shown

�� Before proceeding, verify the TCM calibration has NOT been updated by checking for the Authorized Modifications Label (shown in step 1 of the Repair Procedure).
Production Change info added:

Trying to decipher this post... I am not familiar with what "M.I.L" stands for. I will certainly bring this up with Toyota Service when they notify me that the replacement transmission is in before the start of work. My VIN is in the 6000 series, 4T1BK46K87U006XXX. Does this mean that mine is produced before the production change effective VINs shown? Thanks in Advance for a response regarding.

M.I.L. means "malfunction indicator lamp," or more commonly known as the "check engine light" (amber warning light on your instrument cluster). Your car was in fact produced before the production change was made.

#17 This is an update to post #5. We went to arbitration. We were ruled against, just like any attorney will tell you. It was a total waste of our time. Our flare problem is getting more regular but is driveable. We will now begin our search for a replacement car. I can assure you, it will not be a Toyota product.
