Mine did that suddenly (gears became hopeless), and it required a new linkage. The old one had just shattered apart. Happily, it's easy enough to check by opening the little panel just above the back bench, behind the seats on the transmission tunnel. It should be under a flap of carpet. It's even easy to fix yourself, if that's the problem (and you'll be able to see the broken pieces easily).....and you can order the part quickly enough.

There is another place to check, at the base of the gear lever, which is just a small rubber ring to be replaced, but your description sounded just like my problem - which was the first fix described above.
