Gear box problem

[Jodiemenziesxz]

Does anyone know why my Audi A3 sport won’t go into reverse or 5th gear? It will go into reverse if forced in after a few attempts, want to try get advice of here before it goes into the garage, would also like to try giving it a go at fixing it myself if it’s a possible easy fix. 
thankyou.

You have not mentioned what sort of gearbox it has, but assuming it's a manual transmission the problem is most likely a worn clutch. When was it last changed?

It is a manual 5 speed gearbox sorry, and the clutch seems perfectly fine, goes in to all other gears fine

Tell us the bite point of the clutch. In other words at what pedal height does the clutch start to engage? If it is much less than half way up you have a clutch problem.
