I was also told by a very experienced Merc mechanic that the proshaft flange nut at the end of the transmission can come loose which results in a low governer pressure resulting in incorrect shifting. I tried to remove the rubber coupling and slowly realised that's it's a major job as one will have to remove the entire propshaft to end to that flange nut - so have given up on that idea!

Trans flush did NOT cure the problem, but a fluid and filter change did. Try that.
