So yesterday was going back to work after lunch, was able to downshift into 2nd and 1st, and coasted in the parking lot in 1st, parked the car, left it first. Came back out a few hours later, and I wasn't able to go into first or 2nd. It feels like I'm locked out of the gears and the shifter doesn't want to move fully to the left. Gears 3-6 and Reverse work fine. Pressing the clutch I don't hear any weird noises. Even with the car off I can't move it over.

I've taken off the boot and looking at it, the rod (excuse me for not knowing the technical terms here) going to the shifter looks like their might be something preventing it from going into the correct position. I've attached a pic circling what I'm referring to.

The shifter in my car is an aftermarket one from MGW. Installed this back is 2011ish and never had any issue with it.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on what the cause for this could be since it just happened out of nowhere. I might reinstall the stock shifter to see if that works however I would like to keep the MGW if possible.

Thanks.
