Am I just being crazy?

I had mine in for service the other day and had them look at the transmission as it was "hunting" when coming to a stop very discreetly. They found that there was a leak in the Mechatronic Sleeve in the transmission and replaced it. Apparently, that leak is fairly common.

Apparently I have that mechatronic sleeve leak going on right now but haven't felt any jolt. The only jolt I've felt in the 3.0 was upon releasing the brake, say at a red light just before hitting the gas. A software update fixed it... apparently a recall and they applied a whole fix that I'm sure included other updates at the time (2009).

I doubt the leak is causing the jolt. I thought this was fairly common in any cars with automatic transmission. It's annoying, and there's varying degree to how easy it is to detect this behaviour, but as I recall it's there on all automatic cars I've driven.

Well, mine was same, jolting forward issue when rolling to a stop with the x5, but dealer replaced transmission ~3 yrs ago. Since then no issues at all. I mean not at all.
