You should have a clip/spring thing that holds the shifter down. If it is broken/not there the shifter can spin in circles and it has to be straight up and down to go into gear.
If the clip was still in there you wouldn't be able to pull the shift **** straight up and out of its "socket". Can you pull it out? You should also be able to see the clip if you remove all the bushings.

There is a small pin that is perpandicular to the shifter shaft that engages a notch in the transmission. This prevents the shifter from rotating. It sounds like yours is missing or broken. If you look into the shifter housing, you will see a matching notch shift rod...
