Manual? Pry off the shift pattern plate and there's a metal wedge you can remove with vice-grips. Mine was tough to get out, but it eventually pulls straight up.

Also, in the case of a manual, there is a slip ring that locks out reverse, if you have to remove this, it has a setscrew on the aft side of the shift lever.

I do not think the 94's had the reverse lock-out any more.

The wedge is in there really tight. Use vise grips on it and then a hammer on the vise grips. Small taps and watch-out that you do not hit the mirror when the wedge lets go.
