So, can you tell me if you can shift gears is the engine is not running? You may have a clutch that is not working. Does it make strange noises? Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on. I can help you fix the problem or at least tell you what's wrong.

Thanks for the video, can you please show me what happens when you try to move the gear shifter? But it sounds like something has broken inside the transmission itself. Let me know if you want to fix it so I can give you instructions on how to remove and disassemble the transmission.
