I have a blinker and upper taillight not working on my 86 caprice estate wagon. What tool do I use to take the taillight assembly off.

T-15 I think.... 4 screws maybe, should be the same as your 88. Check your FSM (factory service manual), I know you have one.

My '88 uses/needs/takes a T-15 and unless GM changed hardware in mid-production I'd say yours would too. Two screws on the side and two more on the back.

There's cheap both in quality and in price:

Then there's better quality with a lifetime guarantee;

Shift cable or its linkage is loose.    My 91 Olds hAs the centershift console mod.   I have the same issue.   If manually turn and hold the shift collar on the column toward park they go on (both the floor shifter and column Are still hooked up).   Been too lazy to get under there and tighten it up

The neutral safety switch is a bit off. It's a white (I think) crescent shaped plastic bit screwed/bolted to your steering column just above your pedals. I think you just need to loosen it up a little, and slide it one way or the other, just a tiny bit.
