The transmission on my '99 is fully electronic and I think yours might be too - meaning there are 5 solenoids on the conductor plate in the transmission that can fail or act funny. Somewhere out there is a Youtube video of a guy taking a MB conductor plate apart and replacing the solenoids. My car has the tendency to not want to shift into 2nd gear from a standing start sometimes but just pulling over to a complete stop and shift to park then back to D and it fixes itself....for now.
