86 300E Slipping Transmission

Hello,
I have received mixed advice on my 86 300E Slipping Transmission. Slips btw 2-3 and 3-4, under light throttle, when cold. Fluid changed — no improvement. Dealer says drive it 'till it breaks. Stu Ritter 300E Bible says early rebuild can save ~$200 in parts. Can find decent independant to rebuild in Seattle. Car has 217k on the clock. I plan on keeping the car — am quite married to it.
What should I do?
Thanks, David
