1995 Toyota Camry Trying to troublehsoot sons car issue.

Recently purchased a 1995 Toyota Camry that was not running for $650. The girl we bought it from, said she doesn't know what is wrong with it. Her description of when the problem started was. She was returning to Tucson from Phx and did smell something different, wasn't sure if it was a burnt smell or not. But when she went to pull into her apartment complex, the car would not go into gear. And she had to coast into the parking lot and the car has been parked since then. When I looked at it, I can start the car but I can move the shifter into any gear without the clutch being in or even if I push the clutch in. Any ideas what it might be? Have you heard this issue before? Have had a few people say check the clutch, other say maybe trani linkage.
