I had a similar flare in my trans, after replacing the regulator spring I didn't notice an immediate improvement. After driving for about 3 weeks the flare slowly went away. I'm thinking that due to the adaptive transmission it took time for the trans to adapt to the new regulator spring.
My 98 E320 recently turned 200K miles on the original trans.

The soft rebuild is what the expert called it. It replaces the torque converter as well as all seals, springs etc. I've seen kits called soft rebuild for around $400. I respect your experience but mine was driven too long and will not adapt any more as I understand it.
It's ironic that I too have a 98 E320 with 203K and the original transmission and original fluid. At this point I'm not changing the fluid in that one.
