I will do one more fluid change today, with the 10 weight. If anyone would be able to point to specific brand, that'd be helpful. I guess what I'm a little confused about is whether it matters if it's 10W-30, 10w-40, etc, whatever.

Have you tried replacing the K1,K2 pistons, this helped with my transmission issues no end.
If run dry you may have pulled up sludge (mine needed 3 changes before it stopped dis-coloring the fluid) which causes the pistons to move slowly or stick.
In addition, all three pistons have been upgraded by MB several times, it makes ordering a bit hit and miss but you should be okay.
Check out my K1 thread for details on the above, easy to do especially if you are changing out the ATF.
