Default GC8 cannot get in gear

Hi Gents,

I've spent the last 1 hour trying to search the forum for some answers, but didn't find a similar case to my problem. If you have seen a post with a similar case, please direct me to it.

Car: 99 Gc8 Wrx
Relevant mods: 05 sti 6 speed with dccd (5 months ago), Exedy sports tuff clutch modified to suit 6 speed and exedy 6kg lightened flywheel (2 years ago).

So here's the story, last time i drove it was on friday, everything was fine, then yesterday i drove it out to the driveway, washed it, then drove it back into the garage to polish it, still good. Today was about to go out, hopped into the car, start the engine and let it warm up, trying to get into reverse, gear crunch, clutch out and back in, try putting it in reverse again, still crunch. then try put it in any other gear, none of the gear goes in. Stop the engine, trying to get into any gear with or without clutch, no luck.

Switched off engine, got out of the car, checked for hydraulic oils on the floor, nothing on the floor, check gearbox oil, level is fine, checked engine oil, brake fluid, powersteering oil just for the fuck of it, level all good.

Jump into the car, before starting the engine, i managed to get it into first, so i attempted to start the car while its still in first and clutch pedal in, the car hopped forward as if clutching in doesn't disengage at all.

Car will be towed to workshop for a proper fix hopefully this week. But it'd be much appreciated if any of the guru's here can give me a heads up on what i'm up for. Cheers guys.
