Manual stick shift stuck on first gear.?

Question

The valet parking people tried to put my VW BUS on reverse and they forced it and no it's stuck on first gear. I did everything from forcing it, to pushing it, wiggleing and nothing... any sugestions on what it might be? It has a new clutch.

Answer 1

Sue the valets so you can get your transmission fixed.

Answer 2

I would say that the linkage has been broken loose by the guys trying to force it in gear. Have someone get in the car and move the shifter while you look to see if it is moving. if not its going to need to be re-attatched
