transmission problem B2 piston bore seal?

My 300 SD Turbodiesel (w116, 1980) is currently grounded because of transmission problems. The car has 260 k miles on the clock.

Here is what happened:
- the transmission was flaring the past 5 months, the gears switched too early (only in L it switched correctly from 1st to 2nd).
- the rear gear engaged only after a couple of seconds
- past week the transmission only shifted into gears if I hit the accelerator very hard
- now the car is sitting in my driveway not shifting anymore at all

Here is what I did so far:
- changed the transmission filter and fluid
- changed the bushing in the rod from the selector to the transmission
- changed the modulator and adjusted it correctly
-> all this has no effect: transmission is not engaging

Now what I was thinking of doing next:
- replace the B2 piston bore seal (however the dieselgiant.com page only offers this for the w123/w126 but not for my w116, also peachparts.com doesn't have this part), so I have no idea where to get it and if this is even the solution
- the next thing would be to check if the transmission fluid is pumped through the cooler: any advice how to check this?

Any other suggestions?

Sebastian
