1982 300SD W-126 injection timing
I/P timing seems to wonder when checking. Car ran fine but in the quest to make sure my timing is set to 24 BTDC I noticed that it was moving around. I thought timing chain stretch so bought the kit, installed and I/P timing still moves from between BTDC to ATDC. I'm not able to get it even close to the correct timing spot. Help!!

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?
