Shudder at 40mph (~60km/h)
I am thinking of getting the extended warranty on the car just because of this shuddering that i have been feeling lately from 35-45...doesn't happen all the time but a few times per drive
See i think it's pointless to bring up to them. It's not like they are going to do anything to fix it. Knowing my luck the tech wouldn't even feel it on the drive. It happens when it feel like the car gets bogged down in 2nd/3rd. The shifter and floor vibrates until it up shifts. Really can even accelerate lightly as it up shifts automatically when it starts to vibrate
They deal with another company that offers me a 3 year 36k plan for 3,300 i think she said
I know so people in this thread said when the tech felt it, they ended up replacing the Valve Body...not the case for you?
It went away after the TSB and flush. I just started noticing again in last few months.
How many miles on your G? Have you called the Scottsdale dealer?
I got mine for $1889 but have less than 40K miles. This gives me almost 60K more miles and 5 years. I would go with genuine Infiniti warranty if possible.

i have 63k miles..what TBS did you have done?
Get a quote from here:

You do have to get a vehicle inspection done from dealer though. One quoted me $120 and another $180.
It was the throttle sensitivity TSB. It seems like my torque converter lockup behavior always changed with ever different flash.
I originally had the issue on my '07, when new, where engine would fluctuate several hundred RPM when cold and during the first few miles. A flash fixed that.

Nice find, i just went through their site and might be picking up their lubricant for the differential and the MT to reduce temp and friction and hopefully extend the systems life in the long run... interested in hearing from anyone who has used any product from this company... are they any good/worthy products?
I am going to pick some up tomorrow. I dont know what to get..the shudder fix or the high friction supplement..only like $7
reviews are awesome
Ill let you guys know if it helps this at all
Dr shudder fix...14 reviews..10 gave it a 5 star
14 bucks gets you both..i think it's worth a shot guys

Reviews do look good, i would suggest just trying one at a time, you can always drain a bit and add the second later IF the first one doesnt fix it, but thats just my opinionl.
Edit:
Well i picked up some of Dr Shudder and the LubeGard ATF protector. Put in 1 oz of Dr shudder (come in a 2 oz pouch). Proceed to take my intakes off to give it some time to sit. idled the car for about 5 min. Let sit for 10. Went back out and put 3 oz's of Lubegard ATF protector. It says 1 ox for every quart so i should have put a lot more in but i was afraid to overfill so i just put in 3. You can mix the two as they use similar oil's. let that idle for about 5 min while switching some gears sitting in my driveway. Went out for a 10 mile test run and didn't feel it shudder like it usually does at least 1-2 times per that 10 miles. I know i am going to have to give it a lot longer than 10 mile test as it could just be a fluke that it didn't happen but we will see. Also my downshift wasn't as rough as before. ill update again after a few more day.

I only added half and will add the other 1oz in a week
I was reading more reviews today and man it has fixed a lot of problems in other cars such as an Audi and a Lexus
Red..fluid like color
Only felt the shudder once today and i traveled the normal 20 miles that i always do. I always feel it more than once. While it may have not take it away, It seems to have helped somewhat. Ill keep you guys posted!
Still not as much as before..still feel it here and there. talking it to dealer on Wednesday for a different issue with trans..figured it's better safe than sorry...having them look at my front end as well...steering wheel and seat vibration that i am sure is NOT balance related as once thought
I am getting a loaner car...want to see if it has the vibs at highway speed as well as shudder
