Did not think any adjustments were necessary when you did that install but maybe I was wrong.

The modulator will not cause the slipping, but will change when it slips..

You can test the modulator by attaching a hose on the nipple, and sucking on it your self. If oil is dribbling out of it, it shot...

K1? maybe but it should look like this forth photo on post 34

K1, K2 & B1 accumulator spring kits - Mercedes-Benz Forum

Did you take any pictures of your work? look the same?

How is first gear for you? B2 piston is a very common failure. B2 is used in 1st and 3rd. How did you get to 4th if 3rd slipped?
