Manual transmission won't engage 1st or reverse

[Haiyan]

Hi 

I'm facing issue with my manual transmission it won't engage 1st or reverse. it all happened when I was accelerating fast from 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and at the traffic light I noticed that the gear shift knob tilted to the lift when not engaged at any gear and when I tried to engage the 1st gear it was going to the 3rd and when I tried to engage reveres simply it won't go. So I pulled the centre console off the car so I could look into it. the cables seams to be in good shape but the bushing I'm not sure about it. so what could be the problem?

Many thanks

Problem solved, opened the shifter and removed the cables and checked the bushing some dirt was there so I cleaned it and reconnected the cables done the adjustment and every things went normal.

Good to know. Sometimes you just need yourself to talk thru it. :-)
