You would have to monitor live data in the trans ECU & see what gear the shifter shows.

It would show "2" instead of "D"...and that would not set a code!
Ok, now I see why he has wanted to keep the car. He's test driving the truck trying to get the live data when it happens again.

He was a MB tech for 10 years and his shop is a Mercedes only shop so I'd bet he has the MB scanner. Sounds like you are most likely spot on with the shifter. I'm assuming that problem could present as intermittent?
