My 400E used to do the exact same as your car, and since they have the same drivetrain it's probably due to the same reason.
The quality of the shifts are controled by a vaccum modulator on the transmission. There is an adjustment on it that can improve the quality of the shifts and make it shift much softer. When I adjusted mine it solved the problem and it now shifts like butter.
Do a search on a transmission shift modulator, or of something like that and you will find several posts on it.
