Many W123 transmission issues such as shifting are normally caused by improper vacuum to the tranny. I've had flaring and shifting issues, tried trans-x, etc at first but no luck. Later traced it to low vacuum. Low vacuum are usually due to leaks. Many owners still leave the vacuum distributor sitting on the valve cover connected. I took mine out and plugged all the hoses per the advise of Mr Carlton and it cured my tranny issues.
