My car has worked fine until 4 days ago when I tried to put it into reverse. It wouldn't go. It seems like there's something blocking it. I've tried having someone push the clutch in while I manually try to put in in gear via the engine but that didn't work. Every other gear goes in smoothly. I do most of the work on my own but rebuilding a transmission may be out of my league. What can I do?
