1985 300SD While in D will not go into N, R, or P somtimes

Over 200,000 miles, transmission never overhauled. I can always go from Park to Reverse and then to Drive. But sometimes while in Drive with my foot on the brake, I cannot get the shifter to go into Neutral to get to Reverse or Park. I move the shifter around but to no avail. This situations happens infrequently.

Another observation, when the shifting appears to be working, when I put it in Reveres, the whole body feels like it drops. And when I put the car in Drive it feels like it raises up. Normal/not normal, I don't know?

Thanks for any assistance
