Two points:
1) Nobody is going to know how to do this except a real 900 specialist. Someone who drives these as well as works on them. Someone with years of experience in every aspect of this car. Ignition gears? Forget about it. No other car operates remotely like this, and mechanics are notoriously closed-minded. They'll probably just break it worse. And if they do, your shifter might not work right again. It's a job that took me an hour and a half, but before that I broke a junkyard car trying to figure out the best approach. You don't want a mechanic to figure it out on yours. I took pictures of the job I did. Do you want them? Should I post them as a tutorial on some other forum? Let me know. Or come visit me if you're in New England and I'll do it for beer. Interior repairs on cars in general are something mechanics shy away from, and this is not particularly well-charted ground.
2) The "reverse lockout" that is the collar you lift to get the shifter into reverse has nothing to do with the "reverse lockout" that keeps the shifter in reverse when you've got the key out. That said, You can test the lockout if you can get the key out. Just turn the car off (if you can), take the key out, and try to take the shifter out of reverse. Like I said, if the gear is flopping around in there a few sharp turns will swing it to one side or other and make it possible to get the key out.
