4+3 shifter wont shift
Cant get shifter in reverse to get key out
when in 1st gear position and clutch is let out car moves in reverse
when shifter in any other gear and clutch let out revs drop and car strains but will not move.
can move shifter to any of forward 4 shift locations but not reverse.
Checked master and fluid low but not too low. Filled. No change in result
Not sure what to check.
Please advise.

Raise car up climb under car clear the shifter by hand, simply move main shifter arm's to a straight up/down position because you may be in 2 gears at the same time because of a worn side cover ***** and shifter arm's.
so after confirming the T-10 & OD are in nutraul hopefully the wheels will turn by hand. then you can start looking into the cause of the misalignment, the fact you say it moves back in first almost makes me wonder if though rare has happened a broken shifter fork in the OD unit.

The transmission is in reverse at all times. When shifted into any forward gear, it doesn't move because it is in the forward and reverse at the same time. The output shaft is locked solid. Get it out of reverse. (put the shifter in a forward gear like 4th. Go under the car and move the reverse lever (furthest aft on the transmission)forward). The shifter itself is possibly worn and out of adjustment enough to have allowed the shift lever to move without moving the reverse lever with it. Readjust the shifter.
There is no "shift fork" in the overdrive. The overdrive is never in "neutral". Either direct or overdrive.

Under the car and moved forward levers to vertical position. Tried to move reverse lever but will not budge with hand force. Ok to get more aggressive? Is it the reverse lockout?
Tried to shift into reverse at shifter and will not go in to that gear. Smooth shifting to all others now.
Just FYI, checked movement of slave cylinder when clutch depressed and released and it moves the rod and arm. That implies hydraulics OK, correct?

Moved reverse lever to forward and now can lift shifter reverse lock and get the shifter in reverse position. When I walked the shifter through the 5 positions it would not go into reverse again. Went under and moved lever again and it would go into reverse position again.
New discovery though is that I cannot get key out.

So seems to be smooth as silk now. Will test on road tomorrow.
Embarrassingly the key not coming out was because I had overturned it to ACC.
Rectal helmet problem again.
