Do you also notice the slam when coasting at highway speed then suddenly hit the gas?
Yes a little clunk but then it comes from the tranny

With your low miles it shouldn't be an issue but wouldn't hurt to check flex couplings, roto-flex joints for the rear drive shaft.

I found something about Jags that have the same tranny and there is a TSB Jaguar TIS for that TSB S307-12 : Transmission driveline clonk/knocking when changing R to D, 5 to 4, 2 to 1.

Could this be the same issue

Bad news they tryed too fix and it?s stil the same. They reseted the transmission memory and updated it whit new software. Now a guy from Bmw group Sweden will come and look at it. I feel so empty right now about the car

Unfortunately, software updating, etc., does not always solve the problem. Perhaps mechanical things will have to be replaced.

It maybe be the only thing too do right now, becouse I am not going too accept that . Isn?t strange if it?s At failure that it not shows some error messages Maybe it is the torque converter that is bad
