Want to thank everyone who weighed in on my Neutral Safety Switch issue I was having on the '95 MB.
Finally got up enough courage to take the beast to a mechanic ($$$$$$) and it is now thought that the problem is that the bushings that hold the shifter in place have disintergrated. The bushings are nylon and cost $0.27 each. There are two of them.
Unfortunately, the drive shaft, muffler, back seat and all passengers have to be removed along with the differential and front windshield to replace the bushings. I've ordered a NSS just to be on the safe side. :-)
Thanks to all for the advice.
