Hello, I have a 2000 Honda Accord with 220,000miles, 2.3l engine and 5 speed m/t.

Bit of a story time but my car was driving fine and shifting fine, and then I let a friend of mine borrow the car for a day and he gave it back to me that same night. I didn’t use the car until the next day and when I tried putting it into first it would just go back into neutral, same with 3rd and 5th, and there was no resistance whatsoever. The only gears that I could put it into was 2nd, 4th and reverse, and those gears would stay in its place. I was taking off in 2nd and shifting into 4th only. After about 10 minutes of driving though, I was coming to a stop still in 4th gear, but I no longer could get it out of 4th gear into neutral, it was just stuck. Luckily I got it to drive into a parking lot, and went inside the engine bay to find the end of the linkage, manually slid it to the left and it popped back into neutral from there. Then I proceeded to drive only in 2nd gear back home as it couldn’t go back into neutral from the shifter. I mostly look up videos on finding and fixing problems, but I can’t seem to find anything on this specifically.Where should I begin to look to try and find what happened? Could it just be the shift cables that seized and just need to get replaced?
