check under the hood to see that all the linkage mounts are correct.

are they actually not there or you can not get into it them? i ran into the same issue when i had my sunfire and my spring on the clutch had grenaded, eventually it lead to all of the gears have issues

The cable is the problem. If you have 1, 3, and 5, the cable is PULLING, but it isn't PUSHING.

the cable is pushing I took the cable off the shifter and it does go in and out but the linkage on the trans wont go all the way in could it be something in the trans or is there an adjustment on the cable

The spot where the cable is held in place, either at the floorboard or on the trans case, isn't holding. Although you seem to think the cable is pushing, it's not - it has no leverage because it isn't mounted solidly.
It happened to me. I speak from experience.

:) the cable is the problem it has seized around the linkage @ the trans
