I have a 2000 Avalon. I had my starter replaced. I immediately noticed a difference in my transmission....it seems "tighter". It lurches into gears. Putting it into drive is a jolt. How does replacing the starter affect this?? or is it just a coincidence?? Any advice is greatly appreciated

When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data.
Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle
