New bushings and proper adjustment of the shift rod cured all these issues. And the shifter snaps into each gear with proper Mercedes precision.

Nice... I will probably order some shifter bushings for my 85SD then. It has a kinda jello feeling when in gear, but you can feel each gear click as you move it, and the reverse lights work fine. However when I put it in drive, I have to push the shifter a little bit further than the standard position for drive, then the shifter feels kinda loose.
What did you refer to for proper adjustment of the shift rod?
