Oscar, as long as you know that the clucth disengages fully when the car is running as Gary suggest's, then next I would make sure the shifter is working properly, alot of the 5 speeds have so much slop in the shifter due to wear of the bushings that you may not be entering 1st and reverse when you think you are, it's a long shot but something you need to check before declaring the tranny busted.

Hate to say this but it sounds like your tranny needs new syncro's, you also need to be gentle with it because you really dont want to bust some teeth off a gear and have it chew the hole box up, 5 speeds are very rare and costly.
