91 900 5-speed fails to shift at all

I'm buying a 91 900 that I think needs a transmission swap. It had a bad ignition switch that would not turn off. I used another switch to get it to run and shut off. The ignition/shifter interlock was forced into neutral after they broke the key into the ignition. I've got the parts to fix that, but, I'm hoping I get lucky and the tranny is ok. The shifter linkage is extremely loose, almost feeling like it isn't connected. I wasn't able to get under the car, but I could see that the linkage still had some sort of connection to the transmision. I looked down through the firewall as an assistant moved the shifter, and it is pulling and pushing the transmission rod (it looked like it was). Isn't there a rubber damper in that linkage? If forced, could that tear or stretch, causing total shifter failure? Even with the car running, movement has no effect at all. I will be getting under the car in the next few days, so any thoughts as to what to look for would be great. Right now, my thoughts are, if the shifter is forced...the linkage should break...not the transmision forks connection. Also...How are the Bently manuals?
