My 300SD started doing this to me--only when hot. Fluid looked and
smelled fine, kickdown and shift actuator all checked out. My indy
suggested flushing the trans, which I had them do. They reported
that even tho the fluid on the dipstick looked good to both them and
to me, that they got a lot of gunk out of the trans. It's been fine
ever since, and the shifts are noticeably firmer and more positive,
both up and down. I'd get the thing flushed and see what happens.
