SOURCE: won't go into gear to drive. may be transmission?
If the clutch has never been changed most likely it is that. The way you can check it is by removing the transmission and looking at the clutch disc. It could be transmission syncros but I am willing to bet you just need a new clutch.
SOURCE: check engine light on car dies when I touch brake
Check Engine light is on. Find out what DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is set and I can help you more. You can get a code puller from your local parts store.
SOURCE: gears have to be changed manually
check to see if your shift cable, (depending on how old your car is) is broken or not. the shift cable should be attach your throttle plate to your transmission. if your throttle plate lever has nobs that dont have cables connected to them that should be a worry too. pull on the metal of the cables (not the sleeve) to see if any are loose or pop out. replace those that are broken if need be.
If your car is a fly-by-wire (meaning no mechanical connection between your throttle and transmission) i really would not be able to know without being there. but you could check to see if you have any pinched, corroded, or broken wires coming off of your throttle plate or off of your transmission. if there is then that is probably your problem. keep me updated and i hope this helps! goodluck with it.

SOURCE: gear shift wont shift into any gears, transmission
Most likely the shift cable is bad. To be sure, have someone move the shifter back and forth while you watch the transmission linkage
if there is little or no movement the cable is bad or it's disconnected
from the shifter. Hope this helps.
