You can remove the airbox disconnect the selector cables and check they are free by operating the gear lever, I would also check the gear box oil is clean & the level is correct. while you have the cables disconnected you can operate the selector by hand to make sure its not stiff, check the up & down movement (neutral) then the rotational movement (gear selection)

do the gears select ok with the engine not running

does the clutch movement feel normal

If all gears select ok with engine off it would suggest you have a clutch problem
