Transmission Problems

I have a 1982 240d with an automatic transmission. When I am speeding up sometimes I have to lift up on the accelerator a little when so my transmission will shift into a differnt gear. This is only when I am going about 35 mph and less. Whan I am at higher speeds it works fine. If I dont liftup on the accelator the car will kind of jerk, and then the engine will get really loud. The transmission fluid and filt has not been changed for a wile so I am wondering if that is the problem or if it is worn out. Any information on what this could be and how to fix it would be great.

E300D intermittent hesitation/power loss

'98 300 E TD. Engine hesitation occurs intermittently. Can be very frustrating, leading to total loss of power. Happens at any speed and any RPM, but only happens under load. Burns perfectly clean & smooth, but hesitation is a big problem. Comes & goes w/o reason - might hesitate badly for 5 miles or for 1,000. Might happen every drive & repeatedly for 2 or 3 weeks, and then might run perfectly for next 2,000 miles. WTF?! Have checked for codes, good fuel flow, mass air, etc. Is confounding to all mechanics I've brought it to.
