It could be your slave sinder.if you have a hydrilick cluth. if you have a cable that run the clutch it could be dab. or it most likely you clutch is on its way out

Eric, how are you confirming whether or not the car goes into gear if you shift gears without the engine running? One way would be to put it in 1st and see if you can push the car. If you can't, it is in gear.
Another option is to roll the car slightly forward or backward (engine off) while trying to put the car in gear. Once it is in gear, then the car shouldn't move any further. However, if it goes into gear, DO NOT start the car without taking it back out of gear.
The clutch is much more likely to be the problem than the transmission.
If the clutch fluid ever ran dry, then the clutch hydraulics will need to be bled of air. Otherwise, the problem could be the clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder or throwout bearing. Since you didn't report the clutch slipping (e.g. engine revving without accelerating when in gear) it is likely not the clutch disks themselves.
Is it a manual trans and when you say "could not move in any gear", does the engine stall when you try to move it? When it moves backward is that with the engine moving? If you answered yes to both questions then the trans is stuck in reverse. You may still be able to move the shifter but something has failed internally. If it has an automatic trans then you may have a simple linkage problem, or it may require a more in-depth inspection.
check the fuel pressure regulator and the injectors, the common problem with this car is the crank sensor, located on the gearbox, behind the engine, did the home tune carryout a computer diagnostic, if not get one done asap, it will save u money and time.

Just a thought
We had problem with gear being difficult to select.
Found that one of the gearbox to engine bolts was loose.
Difficult to get to them but when tightened the gears select ok.
ive only seen this one other time on a diesel. what happened to ours the center hub of the clutch disk broke with no warning. it seems the high torque of these engines are ******* the clutch disk. sure hope this helps a clutch job is alot cheeper than a transmission.
good luck
