1994 Saab 9000 Aero manual transmission won't engage

For the last few months the transmission has been finicky. It would occasionally throw me out of third, and I simply avoided fourth because often I would feel like it was in fourth position but the engine would not engage at all. Last night, however, it just got stuck, and currently I cannot shift into any gear. The car is in neutral--it will roll--and the shifter has about 3" of wiggle room left to right. But it will not go into any gear.
This morning got up and looked at the shifter coupler--the rubber between the two metal plates looks fine. It could be an alignment problem between the shifter and the gearbox, but all of the online fixes I can find say that the transmission must be in R or 4th gear to redo the proper alignment. Since I can't get it into any gear, I'm not sure what to do.
Any advice?
