what does /o/ think it is? I'm guessing something in the tranny or clutch blew, as I checked my shift cables and they seem to be good. The clutch pedal still has hydraulics.

I'm going to guess that the flywheel, clutch or pressure plate has broken. Does the car rev in neutral fine or make weird noises?

Yeah, the car revs just fine, just doesn't get into gear. I popped off the shifter cables and the shifter went loose as I assume it should. I popped them back on and now the gears are all fucked up, meaning there is no semblance of any gears to slot into, it feels like the left half of the shifter is walled.

Shifter fork broke? Had a similar-ish problem some years ago. Wouldn't get in any gear, stick felt "loose", car could roll but as soon as you released the clutch the engine would stall.

Could be, the car does not go into gear at all and does not drive. Turns, revs, but it feels like the car is not transferring any power through the transmission to the wheels.
Honestly probably safe to say my trans is shot. Maybe synchro?
