buzz at the shifter could be as simple as the shifter bushings bad, but given that you have lost drive it's likely to be related to whatever is causing the loss of drive.
Come on you guys this isn't rocket science, The left axle has snapped inside the rubber (like it's done about a 120,000 times in the W124). The sound you are hearing from the transmission is the park lock trying to engage. Now before you blow up your transmission reving the engine find a new axle and replace and continue with you're happy motoring.
