Shift lever is stuck in reverse, the clutch is fine, the car starts, I've disconnected the linkage cables, and can freely move the shifter from under the car. The shift lever will not budge, is there any way to free the lever? Soo frustrated!

It could be stuck in 2 gears at once where you have to move the other lever first before the reverse lever will move. Otherwise you just have something broken internally in the transmission.
