94 900 V6 5 Speed... No Reverse?

Hi folks,
Picked up a 94 900 V6 5 speed for $50 (sat at a dead used car dealership - didn't move for at least 5 years)... Just installed a new ignition (missing key) and guess what, it actually started up! Yes, I checked the oil, timing belt, etc, before I tried, but still. My excitement was immediately tempered by the fact that it doesn't seem to have reverse. I did play with the ignition/shifter a little examining the best course of action to replace the ignition cylinder. Could I have messed something up? I'm not seeing how/what lifting up the reverse lock does, but the car DOES move the shifter into what SHOULD be reverse. But, nothing... car acts like it's in neutral. No grinding or anything. It does shift through 1st - 5th fine. The car was towards the back of the lot but did have the remains of a paper "as is/terms of sale" document inside it... So perhaps the transmission isn't dead? Only 112k miles. Any thoughts? It's not worth keeping it the transmission is dead - I bought it for the rims (should fit my 03 9-3 or 06 9-5). But, if it can be fixed...
Thanks very much in advance.
