Sounds as if the gear stick has jumped the gate stop for whatever reason .

what does that mean, new gear box?

No , sounds like external fault on linkage / cables . Not sure of set up on that model / year. Usually gear stick has a stop which you have to lift gear stick to clear when selecting reverse . Sometimes just a case of refitting stick in right position , but occasionally something breaks . Should be easy for garage to see cause of fault .
