Did you try and shift the box through its gears when the box wasn't attached to the engine? Just trying to rule out linkage issues and do the obvious before you pull the box to bits. If you have, I would think the shifter mechanism may have come loose in the box and jammed preventing you from changing out of gear ect ect.
