It had all break cables replaced a few months ago,never had problems with gears before that,I've noticed a small leak on the road where it's parked,not sure where that's coming from or if that has anything to do with it.
Most likely your clutch isn't fully disengaging. Knowing what car you have would help, but my guess is it has a hydraulic clutch that is low on fluid. If the clutch pedal feels a bit soft/mushy and the clutch engages with the pedal just off the bottom this is likely the issue so check the fluid. If it's low top it off and pump the pedal several times, it should slowly get tighter and work better, next find and repair the leak. If the clutch pedal is hard to press then the clutch pressure plate has likely failed and a replacement is in order.

Testimonial: "It's a fiat seicento sporting 1.1 y reg. The gears work great when the engine is off,as soon as its started I literally have to force it in,which is not doing the car any favours !!!."
The pressure plate is probably bad or maybe the friction lining has separated and is dragging. Either would involve getting to the clutch to repair it. It will damage the transmission to drive it like this.

If it has a hydraulic clutch ,the problem is a failing clutch slave cylinder not holding pressure
the leak is probably from the slave cylinder
the indications are that the clutch pressure plate is not properly clearing the clutch plate and the drag is causing the problems

Does your car have a hydraulic clutch or cable operated clutch
It's cable operated,it's a fiat seicento sporting 1.1 y reg,although she's an old car the milage is very low,I've had her 8 years. The same thing happened a few months ago,couldn't get it in gear all day,then the next day drove as usual !!!!!. The cable has been adjusted to the max.
