Transmission Slip - '92 300E 2.6

Car has about 92K, so pretty low mileage on transmisson. Just bought it a couple of months ago and did a tranny fluid change because I noticed some hard shifting. The shifting seemed to get better after the change. Just yesterday (about 200 miles after tranny fluid change), I am driving and tranmission slips, probably when shifting between gears because I think I was going about 20 MPH when it happened (RPM's up, no engagement). I pull over because it seems like it just will not engage, check the fluid (which is OK), and then I get back in and drive several miles to the house with no further problems. Reverse always engages fine, but I do hear a bit of a whine when in reverse.

I have read of potential lower $ fixes that work for some problems: B2 piston, vacuum actuator, bowden cable adjustment, etc. Based on my symptoms, do you think it could be one of these, or anything short of a rebuild? I am really hoping so. Part of me says that with such low mileage, the whole tranny cannot be shot (hoping!).

Thanks for any help you can provide.
