Hey fellas, i drive a 96 cielo atm and i have a problem (and yes i know it aint a toyota  )
i was coming round a corner earlier tonight and as i changed into 2nd i heard 2 thud sounds (the 2nd being a bit louder than the 1st). i proceed to drive up the hill, get to the top, try to select 2nd and the bitch wont go. i pull up have a play around with the gearbox; can get 3rd 4th and 5th but no 1st, 2nd, or reverse (reverse is left of 1st gear)
can anyone help me out!?
i would like to know what ive done before taking it somewhere to get it looked it. the only thing i can say is that it feels like there's a barrier stopping me from getting into 1/2nd gear. have a fucked the box up?!
thanx for replies (if any)

u might have broken somethign to do with one of the selector arms that shift s the gears (in pairs) around.
might only be pins or interlock bits (to stop selecting 2nd & 4th at same time) that have moved/broken, etc (when i broke the 1/2 selector rod in my W50 it tried to select multiple gears at one time) seeing as you're isn't then it's probably not as severe.
if you'd done serious damage (stripped a cog or smashed syncro ring) then it would be undrivable as those things are all along the main input/output shafts - when one's stuck, it tends to affect the whole shaft.

no noise at all... try to put into 1st, it just finds its way back to third..
if it's just the selector arms how much would that be would you guys think? and is it a time consuming job?!
i need my car to be driveable :\
