VCR loads and then ejects tape. Guide rollers dont move

I can insert the tape and the loading works perfectly fine. I checked the belt and it’s in tact and everything. I can use the eject button but the forward and reverse do not work. Along with that the tape doesn’t play. I insert it and then a couple seconds later it ejects. The guide rollers move with a lot of force about halfway up but not fully. Without force and just automatically with a tape they move maybe a half centimeter. The gears for them seem to move so I dont know if it’s a blockage. Any ideas?
