Exclamation 2008 Tundra Transmission Problems "rumble strip"

Hey, I can't believe it I purchased a 08 tundra $30,000 and guess what rumble strip transmission noise. It has been in the dealer for a week and got approved for a brand new transmission that is being installed. I have only 900
miles on it and had it less than a month. I always thought the noise was from the VSC, Trac control, or the ABS in which the owner's manuel says you will hear these parts self test themselves. Not the case, everytime I would accelerate rumble strip feel in transmission at about 3400 rpms. It started at just once in a while and then got worse. EVERYONE listen to me if you are not paying attention and driving with the radio on you might not ever hear it. Listen during slow acceleration. I think toyota is trying to keep this issue on the down low. My dealership told me they had never heard of the problem but I read otherwise. I think this is a serious issue since there was only (1) 6-speed transmission left in all of southern California that was in stock in LA. Tundra owners watch out!!!
