I would love to know why my stick shifter in my excel is broken.

What is your question?

The stick shift in my Manual 1998 Excel has for some reason placed every gear one space to the right. So now, basically, first and second gear don't exist, where third was is where first is now, where fourth was is now second, where fifth was is now third and where reverse gear was is now fourth. I'd love to know possible causes of this and solutions?
