I replaced the mechatronics seal adapter in the transmission 3 weeks ago and have not experienced this issue since. Don't confuse this with the "sleeve", the mechatronics seal adapter is located at the top of the valve body and sits between it and the body of the transmission. You will need to drop the pan/filter and remove the mechatronics to get to it. It is a very simple task...just do your tranny service with this along with the sealing sleeve as well. The mechatronics adapter is about $10 and the sealing sleeve is about $17 (it is known to leak).

Very informative... Has this solved your problems, or have they returned? I had a horrible up shift develop that would sporadically cause a hard jerk up shifting, and sometimes a clunk at nearly a dead stop. I had my DME updated last week and the up shifts are now perfect, but when downshifting at about 30 mph I get a noticable jerk now and the car seems to slow aggressively, as if it has downshifted too early. I don't remember having this issue until the DME "learned" the shift points after the update. I tried to reset the shift memory but it didn't work... Next step might be to try this seal if it did the trick for you.
