Any ideas?
heres a dumb question, hows the color and level of trans fluid?

I had some weird stuff happen on my 300CD about 2 months after overhauling the trans, it would jump back and forth between gears, slip and not shift out of gear sometimes. I got all pissed thinking i was going to have to pull the trans out again, but it turned out to be my boost regulating valve was clogged (located behind the brake booster on the firewall). bypass the valve and see if its any better.
