1994 C280 - Limp Home Mode??

Ok, we just got this car. I've done a search but not sure I've found an answer. It has a brand new-remanufactured engine in it. I've had it back to the shop once on this problem, but it's still there: If you accelerate HARD at highway speeds, the trans downshifts, and when it hits 4K RPM (I haven't done a lot of this, as the engine's still in break-in mode), it starts to stumble and won't accelerate. Then at idle, it shakes like mad. The only way to get things back to normal is to shut it down and restart. Then, everything's fine. It sounds kind of like the limp-home mode on the 500...

Thanks in advance.
