Don't really know enough about your blower.
How old, model #, etc.
Assuming the linkage rod and shift level aren't stuck or frozen.
Your going to need to remove the belly pan.
Tip the blower up onto the front of the blower.
There are usually four bolts holding the pan on.
Remove it and see what it looks like in there.
Don't know why, but mice love building nests in that area.
It could be that the rods the friction wheel assembly
slides on need to be cleaned / degreased.
And re-lubed
Without knowing the approximate age and model of your
blower.  Kind of hard to suggest anything else.

   As a guess given the post you probably have a PowerShifter model with an enclosed transmission.

   An enclosed transmission with an internal problems is usually fatal as they are too time consuming to pull and complicated to work.  Most homeowners or guys who mess with stuff would not attempt a fix. Having it repaired by a shop would be prohibitively  expensive.

   The shift mechanism under the dash could be the problem although rare.  If linkage you can get the service manual online and go through that but it’s tough to set. 

   To distinguish if a linkage or internal problem disconnect the last connection to the enclosed gearbox and try and work the shifter.  If it moves then the problem is internal, if not then external and fixable.
