Pull the box out and take off the nose cone, the hockey stick may have flipped out of the selectors.
That would be the easy fix, if that's not it, it may have a broken selector.

Hi Marcel,
Yes, it's an easy fix, but the box has tobe pulled down.
If you just want to get it into neutral, remove the fill plug and with a brass rod (or screw driver) you can flick the sliding gear out of engagement.
