for the past week, i have been noticing an occasional rough shift at a variety of speeds on the freeway which strikes me as odd because my car has always had very smooth shifts and so this really seems a bit out of place to me. and then last night when i started it, it had a rough start briefly (which never ever happens). and today i was just sitting at a stop light, and my car is purring (like usual) and there was like a brief clunk interruption, and then it went back to purring. oh, the ac was on at the time.

wtf could be causing this folks? has anyone else experienced any of this? thanks.

I do not have the rough shifting but i have experienced the 'clunk interruption' once very briefly. It was very strange and has not done it again since so i just wrote it off. I know that if take it to the dealer they will not be able to replicate this and i think it will be a waste of time. Let us know if you discover any more info on this. Ill be keeping an eye out for it.
