they also have a problem with the bolt that holds the selector together inside a small 8mm or 10mm bolt this comes out and makes it not select gears, try removing the selector and see what i mean we have done loads at ford

If you can select the gears when the engine is off, then it sounds like you have a clutch problem, rather than a gear linkage one.
