It is possible that the pivot linkage within the column has broken. I worked on a Ford the other day with a similar problem and that is what it was. The shifter was real loose and seemed unhooked. The least expensive way to fix this is to buy a entire column from a salvage yard minus the airbag. (Reuse your airbag) I usually pay about 75.00 for a used column which includes everything you need.

You have an 1987 suzuki that will shift into every gear but second what needs to be repaired?
If the manual transmission seems to shift into all gears but 2nd and it doesn't sound like the gears are stripped then it is likely the shifter itself. I had an '86 that had the shifter bolt was broken. It is the bolt that keeps the ball on the end of the shifter aligned, with it broken the shift pattern was anyone's guess as to what gear it was going into. I repaired shifter by installing a new shifter bolt and repairing the housing by removing the broken bolt piece. It restored the shift pattern and smooth transmission operation.
