JoJo,
Get thee to the Greg Nichols site... read all on manual transmissions.
If you aren't leaking fluids it sounds like the actuator rod either fell out of the cup - possible if the locking nut backed off or the cup clamping screw snapped off - or the cup is going thru the crumbling stage.
There are several good tips but read carefully as there is a bearing on the earlier year types that prevent you from getting to the cup/rod socket.
There is also a a good explanation in the Volume 12 of the spring 2002 928 International Catalog check the site under tips it might be there. I could type it in but it is long.
