1985 500SEL shifts at higher rpm, abs light on

Hi guys, I just picked up a really pretty 500SEL, 122K miles, pretty solid car with the exception that at partial throttle low speed neighborhood driving it constantly shifts at about 22-2300 rpms as if it were cold. If you drive the car a little more aggressively it shifts at the same rpms but does so smoothly and it seems pretty normal. Wondering if this is a control issue or if the actual trans is acting up? Fluid is at proper level, color and opacity is good.

Also, abs light is lit? Relay???? Oh and the blower motor is squeaky, can I access and lubricate?

Here is a pic : ) Anyone know the factory name of the interior color?
