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?

1989 560SEC, Rear vibration over 60mph.

In hopes of not throwing expensive parts at a problem, over 60mph the rear end of my car starts to vibrate.

I have verified that the rear stabilizer link set needs to be replaced. Could the vibration in rear over 60mph be the bad stabilizer link set?

Also, the boot closest to the differential is torn on the axle assembly (driver’s side) and needs to be replaced. What do you think that means? Could the torn boot be a clue that the axle assembly is out? What would a bad driver's side axle assembly feel like at 55mph?
