Your key problem may not be associated with the transmission, I know that the key is connected to the shifter but my experience with several 85/86 900's at 140 -160 K is that the key/cylinder tends to deteriorate and possibility bust off, this causes the lock mech. to lock out the entire trans.
The staying in gear (for me) has been the pre symptom of a deteriorated transmission; adjustment generally is associated with finding the actual engagement point and does not act as a holding device. If you find yourself holding the shifter in place so that the gear stays in it's a internal problem... Lot's of cars locally have "bad” transmissions , I have purchased several of them for almost nothing +- 500 and then spent $1500 for the rebuild, the transmissions just get worn out … .
