2011 S63 jumpy while stopped

Over the last month my car has been jumpy while stopped, like at a red light. Primarily happens in the morning or at the end of day leaving work(cold starts). I drive a quarter mile, hit a red light and while I'm sitting there, the car starts jerking. Sometimes softly, once in a while really bad.
Took it to the dealer 3 times now. The first 2, they said they couldn't replicate. The 3rd they let the car sit over night and drive first thing in am. They said they didn't get the jerking at a stop, but did notice aggressive shifting when slowly coming to a stop.
they reconfigured the wet clutch accordingly. I can tell the shifts are smoother, but the car is still jumping at stops.
Any ideas? Clutch need to be adjusted again or could it be something else? It literally does it every morning, so no clue how they couldn't replicate, but they seek lost on diagnosis.

Any guidance is appreciated

I'd have them check the MAF (most likely the cause) as well as the spark plugs. I believe there are 2 plugs per cylinder in the AMG engine.

It's not the engine that's jumpy. It feels like it's coming from center rear.
Originally they thought might be an issue with the hold function on rear tires, but said hold is fine and focused on the wet clutch.
