Vauxhall Astra no forward gears (manual)

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Variant: LS TD 1.7
Model Year: 1995
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
Just drove back to Midlands from Falkirk and 3 minutes from home when changing down from fifth lost forward gears and smoke immediately came out of side of car as slowing down to pull over, however reverse works.

Fluid levels checked no issues.

Any ideas?

Not sure what's fitted to that model / year but first thing I would check is gear linkage or cables , whatever is fitted .Dont know where smoke came from unless its something to do with clutch possibly ?
