Well part of it is the torque converter. Getting on the freeway a couple months ago I got a really bad slipping between a gear change accompanied with a bad whining noise. I continued to hear that for a while and now it has gone away and is non existent. All those signs pointed my though towards the torque converter.
The lurch is a totally different issue and is transmission related. I am very frustrated cause I have driven a 2007 Range Rover. Bear with me here, I know is not the exact same transmission but it has one from the era of when BMW owned Land Rover and it is the smoothest ever and no lurch stopping.
I expressed my dissatisfaction with my SA and I am going back next week, so we will see what they come up with this time. I will keep everyone posted as I find out myself.
