Just had the rubber shift linkage fail on me, which may be your problem. The symptoms where that I could not get to the 1,2 gate but I could get to 3,4,5,R. Turns out the linkage had sheared. The linkage as described in an earlier post is two plates with two studs each with a solid piece of rubber in between. The failure was that one of the metal plates had separated from the rubber, thus permitting some movement of the shifter without transferring the movement to the plate attached to the transmission side of the linkage.
It appears as if the rubber block is not available for the 900, you have to replace the whole shift coupling assembly. This you do not want to do. The rubber block is available for the 9000, which works just fine in the C900. I replaced this piece on my 91 900TC this past Wednesday night which worked out great.
One thing I was able to do was to put the car in gear before I did the swap. This made sure that when I did the swap that I did not get the shift lever position out of sync with the transimission linkage rod.
As others have mentioned, this may not be your problem. I highly recommend the townsend site - the rubber linkage can be seen in the 9000 section.
I do have a couple of digital pics if you are interested.
Best of luck
Will
