Linkage might just need adjusting up properly. But it aint a hard job to change it's 4 10mm bolts inside the car and to bolts under the car (that connect to the box) a 13MM and a 19mm (i think) should take you no longer than an hour

I am trying to find a new one for my car aswell as mine is worn.
I have been told this is still availiable from Ford but my local one will not look to see if any branches have any in.

Clutch might not be disengaging if gears are hard to select?
