yeah, sounds like shifter bushings.
I've also had this happen when i lost the bitch pin on the linkage, and used a bolt in its place while i waited for honda to get it in. Not fun to drive at all.

thanks i feel dumb when moving the civic and finding out its not in gear because the civic is loud and all you hear is the motor rev and me not moving.
