          Is the clutch fully disengaging (will it go into reverse with the engine running)? If it won't go into gear with the engine off the problem is in the transmission or shifter. If it will go into gear with the engine off there's an excellent chance that the problem in in the clutch rather than the transmission.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              If 3rd & 4th aren't a problem with the engine off, but 1st & 2nd are, the problem isn't with the shifter and is inside of the transmission.
