No CV joint issues?

Just throwing a thought... you’ve probably checked by this point!

This sounds like it could be a case of a stuck clutch plate.

Put it in gear with the engine off and rock the car backwards and forwards until it releases, or easier still pull it with another car until it does the same.

Has the clutch slave cylinder stuck out, ie holding the clutch in ? this would allow you to select gears but you would have no drive, undoing the bleed nipple would not release a slave cylinder that has stuck. as I recall it's bolted on underneath so easy to remove and check

clutch peddle was solid when tried pushing it in i released the pressure on the nipple just wondering if this wats caused the no gears maybe clutch fork aint moving or engadging sumthing too do with the fluid?
