Transmission problem
1995 Geo Prizm 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 165000 miles

I have a geo prizm with a manual transmission, mileage is 165k. When I start the car I can not change gears, it locks into the gear it's in and I can't change. When the car is off I can go through the gears no problem. When it's running and I try and change gears i get a grinding sound but can not change.
