There is a little plastic cap on the end of the shift lever that is inside the transmission that breaks. You can access it from inside the car, take out the emergency brake, the carpet and carefully remove the top plate on the transmission. You may need to hire someone experienced in how to realign the selector levers and reinstall with a new plastic cap.

Try to double clutch the clutch
pedal. How to double clutch; push the clutch in moving the stick to neutral,
then release the clutch and then push it back in and shift into first or second
gear. If it works then it is not the
shift linkage and could be a clutch adjustment.
First how far do you have to release the clutch pedal until the clutch plate
starts to engage? If only an inch or so the clutch pedal needs to be adjusted,
which is an easy fix (this is more common). The other possible problems could
be the clutch plate, throwout bearing of syncros could be bad. If it is one of
the previous problems double clutching should buy you some time.
