1990 gsx cannot get into 1st or 2nd gear

I was driving my gsx today and i stopped it wouldnt go into 1st to take off well it went into 2nd and i was able to take off.
well now it wont go into 1st or 2nd gear to take off, but if i get it rolling in reverse or 3rd itll go into 1st but its like its barely going in, 2nd doesnt exist any more it just grinds if i try to up shift or down shift into it.

The slave is moving the required distance, 3rd 4th 5th and Reverse all work well, i adjusted the cables and if you remove the cables from the selectors on the trans you cannot put it into 1st or 2nd using the selectors it is like something is binding it feels the same way if you move the shifter with the linkage hooked up its like something is blocking it.

so idk if theres any tranny gurus out there idk what it could be, bent shift fork possibly in the trans? im at a loss

Thx for your help before hand
Tom
