Question on BMW 3-Series E36 Shift_Bushings

Hello, I have a '97 M3 with an automatic transmission and 118,000 on the odometer. I've had an intermittent cyclical knocking that I can hear and feel on shift knob coming from what sounds like under the shift knob. It seems to be more prominent while in reverse and when first driving after sitting for a bit. The knocking is relative to my speed and happens in each gear and while coasting in neutral. There seems to be a bit of a lurch sometimes while shifting if that could be related somehow. I also had code P0740 pop up very briefly for "torque converter clutch circuit open". Thanks in advance for your time!

There could be an issue with the driaveshaft support bearing or drvieshaft itself. I would inspect the drivetrain components.
