Welcome to FTE!

First, your 6 cylinder engine is an Inline engine, not a V style engine.

Second, I'm having a hard time understanding what happened, could you elaborate?

What did you mean by "all of a sudden I couldn't do anything but brake"?

The more detailed you are the better we can understand you

sounds like the synchros may be shot, the fluid needs changed and the clutch needs replaced
