    Hi,
    My 03 4.4 198K miles does the same...
    If it feels like clutch chatter between 1st and 2nd at low rpm's in D not S or using the manual shift mode.
    Check the oil pan for silver slivers as there is a thrust bearing that goes according to CTSC the local ZF dealer.

    Im not sure what they would be talking about there is no clutch so no thrust bearing, there is a torque converter and a solenoid valve that locks the torque converter for more efficiency this can give trouble also there is a wiring loom in the transmission that can have intermittent fault, Also due the life time fluids they clog up the cooling system which can lead to overheating so even after a transmission service it will cook the new fuild and lead trouble Still doing research will get to the bottom of it
