Does the shifter move or is it also stuck. Could be that the shift linkage is rusted where it goes into the case or maybe a shift key is broke inside.

Shift rod were it goes into the tranny is probably rusted and will need a lot of penetrating oil and some force to move it back and forth to free it up.
