Jerky shifts in "C" mode

When starting out there has been a jerking motion between 2nd and 3rd.
Turns out the valve body had to be replaced. Apparently this is a fairly common problem on the S class. Anyone had this?

I did.... but my car had gone into limp mode (Basically would not get out of second gear I believe). The car has always had 1. rough shifts/hesitation between shifts 2. In the morning on the first start it jerks once (like something going in gear) after being placed in Drive even with no acceleration and just letting the car role at idle. The dealer says everything checks out and software is up to date. Interestingly problem 1. has always been present and problem 2. actually started after the repair.
