Gears refuse to engage into reverse or other gear slots

2004 Ford Mondeo station wagon
Car: Ford Mondeo
Year: 2004
Variant: station wagon
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
Gears routinely refuse to engage into reverse or other gear slots for 1st 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th and will only do so if I switch off and start again. What's the cause?

Dont know what size engine in your car but If it goes into the gears o.k with engine off , likely to be clutch fault . Could check clutch fluid level and for any sign of fluid leaks at master cyl . or even try bleeding but may be internal with general wear and tear on the clutch assembly .
