Is the atf level ok?

Check it while the engine and box are hot and running.

it might be worth changing the filter in the tray and the atf fluid too it would be the first thing i would do

ATF level is nothing to do with this problem.

It's a thing that is peculiar to Mercs and I've read about it elsewhere. Look into all the things on the kickdown circuit eg kickdown sensor etc. I get a delay on kickdown and so do other people.
