Does anyone have the DTB #'s for jerky/jolty/bumping Transmissions??

I've been trying to chalk up all the little things (actually not really any besides a little brake-squeek) to take to the Dealer soon. Since I've gotten my Car I've been bugged by some jerking/bumping from the Transmission, it doesn't happen always, but at low speeds sometimes it bumps so hard I feel like someone hit me from behind.

I've taken it to the Dealer twice and they give me some BS as to how it's "normal" and/or how they can't reproduce the problem. I'm getting fed up and I'd like to get some advice on how to handle this (and if it is indeed supposed to be normal), and get some DTB numbers if they're out there so I can tell them what it is and what needs to be replaced.

Thanks.

Your issue might be the transmission Electronic Control Unit (ECU)........my MB Dealer is going to replace mine and have ordered it from Germany. During my A Service last week, my Dealer verified I had the updated radiator but they did find some fault errors in my ECU. The ECU must be "coded" for your specific vehicle VIN and that's being done in Germany. I'll send you the radiator/transmission Service Campaign Bulletin if you PM me with your email.

PM your email address and I will send relevant DTB copies (transmission & brake squeal) to present to your SA.
