Can't shift into gear, the dreaded reverse grinds

Hi guys. I have a '97 900 S, I've had it about a year, and it has tried my patience numerous times. I have this problem with it now, I have to literally force it into gear, reverse grinds no matter what I try. I have a difficult time shifting, it's like trying to punch a brick wall with my fist. What could this possibly be? Bad shifter bushing? Broken or stripped gears? I've tried turning the car off and shifting into reverse, and then turning the car back on and sometimes it works. Other times, it doesn't. It just started doing this about three days ago, and has quickly gotten almost impossible to go anywhere with this car. Any thoughts? Thank you.
~Joe
