Well, I put it in first gear, second, gear third gear, fourth, the fifth gear and reverse there’s no grinding or crunching the gearbox is not sloppy. I’ve push the clutch in it feels firm it’s a cable clutch, but let my clutch out and there’s no movement.

Hello my name is Dave.

I would confirm that the clutch cable is intact, I would remove it from the transmission and make sure it moves when the pedal moves.

I have seen this happen when the center of the clutch disk itself breaks, everything else will seem to work fine but no movement. If the cable is fine then you will need to remove the transmission regardless of what the problem turns out to be, if you remove the transmission and the clutch assembly is good then your problem will most likely be internal to the transmission.

Here is a guide and a video to help us with the problem:
