Has your car ever been in an accident? There is a collapsable section of the shift rod on both 900s & 9000s that will "go" with only the slightest provocation. It doesn't necessarily collapse uniformly, and the result is a useless shift rod that won't engage gears correctly.
When converting my '88 9kt to a 5-speed, I pulled the shifter parts from a wrecked 9000. Everything went in easily, but I could not align the shifter at all - I could either get access to 1,3, or reverse but that was it. After disassembly and seriously close inspection, I could see the shifter rod was bent just a little, enough to throw off its alignment.
Just a thought...
