My ford has suddenly stopped going into gear. Each time I try to go into any gear it just won't stay in. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

This could be as simple as the gear linkages being out of adjustment - so the gear isn't being allowed to fully engage in the first place. This usually occurs if the gearbox has been disturbed to fit a new clutch, for example - or maybe its just got a high mileage on it. Best visit a Ford dealer or good independent garage for this one.
