What year are the gears, since much later gears can be put into early cases? How about a photo since you have the top of the transmission off. Look for one or more of the syncro balls in the way locking the syncro hub in position. Use a inspection mirror. Sounds like your locked in 2nd and 3rd since the 1st-R gear moves. You can not move the cluster! Drain the oil to see if there are additional syncro balls in the oil at the bottom of the transmission.
