with the car off, can you get it into either of your problem gears?

could be bad tranny mounts or a outta balance drive shaft.

what is the difference from neutral or engine off to the tranny?

When the car is off, nothing is spinning. Turning it off removes any clutch factor, and not being in motion at the time means the driveshaft isn't spinning, and therefore the transmission gears aren't spinning. Particularly in a tired transmission, it is easier to get into gear when the car is off- unless something is broken. This way you can rule out a drivetrain problem and narrow it down to the tranny, even in neutral- which you can't do when the car is rolling, and can't necessarily do when the engine is running, depending.
