yeah exactly what Ian said, i got a 1.6 sport think the gearbox's are same or similar. had mine for a few weeks with no probs then all of a sudden going from 4th to 5th almost became impossible and all the rest seemed a little bit like stirring thick soup
try the topic in tutorials if you can, all i did though was got a 13 or 15mm spanner (cant remember off the top of my head) got underneath and losend the linkage part that got the gearstick side of the rod and had a mate pushing it into place. after that felt a little bit better but not solved, so i topped up the gb fluid. easy enough to do, top bolt (with plastic bit on) off and drain plug bolt off, get a funnel and fill it till it pores out the side

does it make a difference if you pump the clutch a few times before trying the gear

Might need to adjust the clutch cable as well. The pedal should rest a bit higher than the brake pedal.
