Default GMM Ripshift broken

i was just driving along today in a neighborhood and all of the sudden i couldn't get my shifter out of 2nd gear. i could move it all around but it was staying in 2nd and not going into any other gear, i couldn't even feel the slots for any other gear. any ideas?

Tha'd be kinda funny moving the stick to the next gear, yet end up being in the same gear. I'd be so confused I'd have to pull over get out of my car and think about wtf is going on lol.

Check to make sure the bolts that attach the shift lever to the shifter didn't work loose. I had one fall out and couldn't change gears. Needed more loctite I guess. Hope that is it as that would be the cheapest fix.
