1984 900S transmission/gearbox/clutch questions

I purchased the car 3 months ago and at that point it was a little difficult to engage 2nd and 3rd gears - particularly 3rd gear.
The problem seems to be progressing linearly over time - with the additional issue of slipping out of gear, which has increased in frequency exponentially since I noticed it about 3 weeks ago.
2 weeks ago, i was backing up and when I pushed in the clutch to shift to a forward gear (car still in reverse), my car screeched to a halt and left me sitting there wondering if i had gone insane.
So I started the car and reproduced the problem.
If I force the car out of gear BEFORE I push the clutch pedal to go to 1st gear, the problem doesn't occur...so I am inclined to believe it is trouble somewhere in the gears.
Keep in mind that I know very little about Saabs - and as far as that goes about cars in general - so the gear theory is just from reading hundreds of posts to the message boards about transmission problems...but I still haven't found the exact problem from another owner who posted.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
