When you eventually get it into gear, does it make any excess noise? If it's just the gear engaging that is the problem, then it's most likely the linkage.

check the gear linkage knuckle, either tighten it up or buy a new linkage from ford for about £30. If not ur box or clutch is fooked! best of taking it out first to check the wear on the clutch before buying a box, or alternatively it could be the clutch ratchet not engaging right!
