Hey Buddy,

Sorry for the delay as i just moved, and I am all lost with my stuff...

B2 seal(the black seal in the bore) is known to harden-up and cause this problem if it slips from 2nd to 3rd. Here is great thread:

How to Replace Your Oil Cooler Lines

K1 has the little spring kit which goes inside a tube with two teflon split rings, and I want to say K2 is the same... Here is some links with access to the service literature on the 722.3/722.4

1996 S280 Australia transmission no reverse diagnose & rebuild. - Mercedes-Benz Forum

I'd entertain K2 and B2 as these can still be accessed without dropping the transmission..
