Hows your fluid levels???

Maybe you damaged your selector forks or what ever their called.

could be your clutch failing, or badly out of adjustment. but you should be able to select a gear with the engine not running.

failing that yoru GB has problems.

interlocking detends playing up. shift forks bent.



can you select gears with the engine off ??

no i can't select gears even with the car turned off. the only gears i can select are third and fourth with the car on and off.
