I went through all the exploded views of the internals of your trans, 31 pages, and the only thing I saw that matched your description that could case your slipping problem and could make it's way into the pan was a push rod that closes the #2 band. The only way your're going to know for sure is to take it to a shop that does rebuilds on MB transmissions and ask them. Without actually see the part, I can only guess. Hope this helps.
