I have a 02' that has had transmission problems I went to Aamco and still had hard jerks in 2nd gear. And they forgot to put one of the bolts back on the flex plate and sway bar mount which created a knocking sound which took a while to diagnose. Turns out it was the sway bar was hitting the inside wheel well making the noise. I still have hard shifts but I am leaning more towards a transfer case gear issue now, I am going to send the transfer case in to get refurbished and see if that fixes my problem. Love my X5 198k.
