I got in my car and tried to get it out of reverse and it was stuck. By pushing the clutch in and trying to move it and then letting the clutch out and pushing it back in, I was able to get it out of gear and it was a struggle to get it into 1st gear . it drove but when I went to put it back into reverse it was hard to get it back in reverse.

Would this be caused by a worn clutch ?

Will the gears shift normally when the engine is off?
