Im no eggspurt but a good tug will either sort it or ruin it... spare gearbox from pikey if needed what you got to lose by tuggin the fooker.

shirley do the easy bits first?

remove wading plugs n have a look.
taake out t box & gbox filler plugs. look at state of oil.
have a look at linkage - its not unusual to find it caked in mud.

then report back

If you don't mind slumming it I've got spare seats in a P38. I could pick you up and return you home and could do with all the help that I could get.

have yu got a good pressure washer? mite be the lesser of 2 evils to climb under and pressure wash all the linkage. Maybe (worst case) to pressure wash up the wading plug hole into the clutch area.

ive read that bit ,stuck isnt very explanatory
