Mercedes-Benz E-Class auto gearbox problems

My 1997 Mercedes-Benz E220 diesel auto is experiencing problems when changing from park. I eventually manage it after a few frustrating restarts. It has also just recently lost kickdown and normal shift down on hills. I have changed the kickdown switch for a start but it hasn't fixed the problem. Any ideas?
