My old 1985 380SE (probably the exact same tranny thats in your 500SEL) slammed into reverse if the engine was warm. There was also a delay in the engagement. I asked here about it and someone said it was something going out in my tranny. Strange, because otherwise the transmission shifted perfectly when driving. No slipping, flaring, etc. I never bothered with it and it never got worse. I just tried to shift into reverse as little as possible when it was warm/hot.
