My car is 600SEL 1992. Recently I'm having a problem the occurs always (cold/warm) when shifting from the 2nd gear to the 3rd gear. It's like slipping (or maybe you call it a flare) it's like when I'm driving and it's the time that the car must shift to the 3rd gear it will act like if it was on the Neutral position for one second then it will shift. I noticed that if I decreased acceleration it will shift better. It's shifting normal from the 3rd gear to the 4th gear.

The vacuum system is working properly and adjusted properly as well.

Could that be because of bad 2nd gear clutch plates?
