I'm no expert in the inner workings of the gearbox but first thing i would check is that the clutch isn't jammed in the 'lever pulled' position if you get my drift, as this will disengage the gearbox from the engine.. good luck sorting there problem.

When I had this problem it was the pawl in the gear box, it took two hours to fix by a R E specialist mechanic

If its not engaging at all with just no resistance its probably just the kick-start pawl & small spring needs replacing not too hard job parts available as a kit on this site.
