Default 89 civic SI no reverse

I was driving yesterday and missed second gear I got home and tried to pop it into reverse but it would not go in kinda like something is blocking it from going in. I am hoping it's an easy fix because I have a 97 prelude which has been out of commish for 5 months because of the same problem. If anyone has experienced this problem and knows a fix please let me know asap I live in so cal so if anyone knows where I can get a cheap SI tranny let me know

Thanks

I tried everything I could i.e. switching through different gears with the car on and off I tried to force it in but no luck
