First things first, do you get pressure on the pedal? How bad did you grind 2nd gear? Did you hear thinks knocking and etc?
Check your clutch linkage and make sure you didnt bust that, also can you put it into gear while the cars off? If you can, put it in first, then start it, does it start okay and drive ok? Check your clutch hydrolics and make sure they're okay...just some ideas

yeah maybe try pumping the clutch... i know it may be bad but it works good. when my car wont fall properly into reverse or first (which is normal) you maybe have to pump the clutch to open the gate. but if it seems worse than that... just have the dealer come and tow it or some shiit.

Yeah I sometimes have to pump the clutch to get it in R some times. It even happens on my 88 civic but yeah if it is way worse then that I would say try getting to the dealer somehow.

I've never pumped the clutch if I get locked out of reverse or something. I just push the clutch in and row all the gears several times to align whatever and she goes right in.
