yea i had that problem, if it goes into gear with the car off and not when running the clutch isnt releasing, this can be a broken clutch/ pressure plate and or a the slave (as stated above) isnt releasing the clutch. mine was the slave leaking an me not reafilling the resivor, and have someone press the clutch pedal in while you look at the top of the tranny and see if the slave moves the fork, it if dont thats the problem

check to see that the clutch fork moves when the clutch is applied. if it does, you problem may lie within the clutch assembly itself.

if it doesn't move, then the master and slave cylinder are the next reasonable things to check.

Will it go in gear with the engine not running? If so, the problem is the transmission input shaft and the pilot bearing are siezed up in the ecentric shaft, which causes the gears to be spinning all the time, to fast for the syncros the allow the gear to engage
