If you have to press the brake to get it to go in gear it may be the sensor switch on the brake pedal or system.

Hit the brake a few times without it running and then try.

Aparently these are manual gearboxes that are controlled electronically so as to act like an auto. A quick check on google shows that the electronic controls can be a problem and unfortunately not cheap to sort out im sorry to say.

My merc auto had a feature where if the red brake warning light came on the gear lever could not be moved out of N for safety reasons.

There was a release button under the gear lever surround to release it so maybe it has a similar feature...
