I had a very similar problem on my W124. Reverse worked fine, but one day it just got stuck in 1st gear and wouldn't shift out of it. I pulled the valve body and soaked/flushed it. The PO never changed the fluid, and all this gummy stuff came out. Reinstalled, filled with Mobile 1, and it shifted like new. That was 3 years ago. I sold the car to a friend and he is still driving it with no tranny problems.
