Hey guys, the other half has a ford KA 1999 1.3, and last night i was driving it, and was driving fine. But i tried to put it in reverse and it wouldn't go in gear, same with the other gears. Turned off the engine, and the missus got in and she could get it in to gear, but it would be very hard to get in to gear. But now they is a juddering and a slight misfire when setting off in first like its going to stall. Also sometimes, you can't go from 4th to 3rd, but you can do 2nd to 3rd..
Any ideas?

Gearbox was fine last night, as she left my house, would go in to gear n everything, and then this morning she had problems driving it getting to work.

sometimes when cars don't select gears easily you can pump the clutch pedal a few times or select a few other gears before trying again and it may work (until you find the problem).
