In general when a rear wheel drive transmission exhibits these symptoms, the 
rear main shaft bearing has come apart or the snap ring/retainer plate has 
come off.  The shifter movement is from the mainshaft/syncros/sliders moving 
back and forth.

In any event don't drive the car or tow with the rear wheels on the ground, 
towing could result in more broken parts.

For Triumph specific trans info you will need to ask another list member.
