I think that if the lever has full movement and it won't select the next gear, it will need dismantling to properly ascertain what's gone wrong.
Sorry to say that.
It's a reasonably big job to get to the gear box.

Just try this.
Put it in gear, pull the clutch in, and push it backwards.
When you get a bit of speed up, let the clutch out.
Try and jolt the gear box if you get my drift.
I'm not confident that something isn't broken though.

I read about this in the troubleshooting and transmission sections of the service manual. Even if it's something simple, it is still not anything I would want to tear into. Didn't even feel remotely confident that I could do the job.

Glad you're back in business, and that it was covered under the warranty.
