Probably the transmission needs servicing.
However, check to see if the transmission is controlled by a vacuum hose and if there is a vacuum hose going to the transmission then make sure it is connected and not loose.
Check the transmission fluid and make sure it is not very low and not burnt.
If the transmission gear will go in to all gears then probably it is the transmission. Get a used tranny from a junkyard or have it repaired.
