Isn't it a ZF transmission? Any good shop should be able to tackle the problem. Check with local Mercades shops on who they have do transmission work.

You said you changed the fluid, what fluid did you put in and how much? Also doesn't sound like you have driven it much if any in between all the work so I would start to ask why it started to sound like it does.

My first thought (didn't listen to any of the videos)....drain the fluid, look at the fluid, put in the correct amount & type and see if it still exists. There are good videos on how to do this, look for Help Me DIY on youtube.
