I took it back for the follow up appt today. They were supposed to look at the tranny after they witnessed it jerking with me driving.
Again, they couldn't find their way out of a cardboard box.
Called me up saying they couldn't find anything wrong with the car and if I was shifting from reverse to drive while the car is in motion, it would jerk. Ya think??
I really tried hard not to lose it. I once again explained this is happening at a full and complete stop. In addition, it's more apparent when you come to a complete stop vs shifting while in motion (AT BTW).
I hate to come across so ugly, but this is ridiculous. It's very repeatable at this point and it's like these people have sh*t for brains.
Don't mean to be a cloud in anyone's day, just had to vent.

Call the SM back and tell him you want to come by and have him and a tech ride with you....
What about the mounts? Did they even look at those? It can be pretty easy for an experienced tech to examine a mount and tell if it's broken (although you can't always tell just by visual inspection).

It's likely that a correctly done 3x3 ATF drain/refill will solve the problem. Be sure they follow the full procedure of running the transmission on the lift between fills (helps to ensure most of fluid is pumped out of the torque converter). Print out the tech bulletin and take it in with you:
My tranny took a major dump 2 weeks after I bought mine- it overheated and stopped working on the interstate... I did a 3x3 flush and its been working fien since. Look at the fluid and see the color and smell, if you know what youre looking for that is
