I have a 95 900S, and believe me, these cars can get expensive to put right. When you drive the car, try double-clutching it and see if it will go into 5th gear....4th to neutral, let the clutch pedal up, rev the engine to match transmission speed, clutch in, up to 5th. If it still won't go in, it could be something as simple as a shift rod adjustment.
But, as Nick mentioned in his last paragraph, brakes, cv joints, an oil leak from the rear main seal contaminating clutch components and you're easily looking at $3000 to have put right by a competent technician....and that doesn't take into account issues with tires, electrical, exhaust, etc.
Be careful!
Steve
