ARG! K1 Spring Kit No Help!

I'm beginning to really hate automatic transmissions! This is the third one in a row in my Benz family. I just got home from my shop where I replaced the K1 piston springs on my 500E. (PITA, The exhaust is in the way of the pan.) I was "sure" this was the solve for my 2-3 shift flaring....... Obviously not! My last two tranny's (300E and E320) had delay and flaring problems and I rebuilt them both and that fixed them. I just hate to think I have another one to rebuild. The 500E trans shifts very solid in all gears except for 2-3 and just reciently started trouble. Is rebuilding the only option I have left or is there something else I can check? I'm not sure weather it's a band or a clutch pack that engages to perform the shift. I lost my ATSG book.... Anyone have any other suggestions besides rebuild? If I do have to rebuild, does anyone know where I can get Kevlar bands and clutch disks? I want this one bulletproof. (no pun intended....)

Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam
