Trans jerk problem went away.
Went on an out of state trip on Tuesday. Put about 300 miles on car. Now have almost 1500. Up to the trip car always jerked going into 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 gear. Since we came back I have not been able to duplicate the problem. For 3 days I have tried while the car was cold and it will not do it. Either the car sinced that I had an appointment to bring it in on Monday or I was just lucky that it went away after more miles were put on car. Cancelled my appointment for Monday. They said if it comes back call them and they will perform the service bulliten work for that problem. If anyone out there needs the service bulliten number let me know.

I am very glad for you. The jerk problem has been occuring on some in crazy way. I have not heard of a case going away by itself.

If the bulletin fixes all trans. jerk problem, it really is a big news. I personally had same problem with my 2012 E350 BlueTec that I don't have now. I am glad for everybody that has the problem.

The Blue Tops are the pressure regulating solenoids. I DO NOT recommend them for a daily driver as they are pretty brutal and ridiculously expensive. If you do go that route I would suggest upgrading to the E55 motor mounts.
