I too have noticed this problem for the last 2-3K miles. I had the TSB performed for the rough downshift from 4th to 3rd (https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...wnshift-6.html), but this hasn't solved the problem. I'm still experiencing the flare issue. I plan to bring it up at my next service appointment.

I recently took my G37X in to get the first oil change at 1300 miles. I also had them check the transmission since I had what they called a ‘RPM Flare’ at around 40 MPH on normal acceleration. The scenario is that the car is driven and warmed up then allowed to sit for an hour and driven again. On the second drive, once the speed gets close to 40 MPH, the transmission would shift into the next gear but before dropping into gear the RPM would jump by 500 before dropping. There is no noticeable jerk in the transmission and is only noticed by engine sound visual confirmation on the TACH. They are saying it is normal due to the two torque converters and will test another car to see if it happens to that.
What I am hoping is some of you with a 7AT can do a simple test to confirm whether this is normal or not, so if you could help out it would be deeply appreciated.
What needs to be done:
1. Drive your car like normal.
2. Let it sit for an hour (engine off, go shopping, have a quick dinner or something)
3. Drive it again paying attention to the RPM at around 35 – 45 MPH and note if you have any flare’s in the RPM
I am really stressed out about this, and not knowing if this is (lemon) or is not an issue is preventing me from enjoying the car.

OK, talked to my contact and as of now there is NO OTHER UPDATES BEING WORKED ON TO ADDRESS THE TRANS FLARE AT THIS TIME. People, Infiniti will not do anything about the flare unless we complain. If your sitting on your @ss in hopes that someone else will do it for you, it won't happen. YOU NEED TO TELL YOUR DEALER AND INFINITI CONSUMER AFFAIRS.

Downshift Issue and burning
I have the transmission downshift issue - when I first got my G in March, they said there was nothing wrong and that they reset the computer. So what you guys are confirming is that there IS a fix for it now?
Do I need to reference any TSB?
Also, I have noticed a smell, somewhat of a burning smell coming from front area after driving awhile. When new, dealer said it was break in...but now 3200 miles and still doing it. Anyone had this??
