sounds like 2 different issues. the shift indicator is likely the bulb. i replaced the one on the '95 about 4 years ago and within 2 years it was blown again.

for the gauge lamps, there are a bunch of them. so if the intensity is flickering it may be 1 bulb, but if the whole panel is out, then on again, i'd look at the dimmer first.
