Why would a ford fiesta 1996 not go into gear but clutch depresses normally?

If it goes into gear easily when the engine is off, but won't shift once you're started, you probably have a warped clutch disk or worn pilot bushing/glan nut. Replacing a clutch and taking care of the throwout bearing, pressure plate, pilot bushing and resurfacing the flywheel is usually in the neighborhood of $200 to $300 labor plus $150 to $250 parts. Depending on the shop and where you're living. California and New York will obviously be a lot more.
Pre 1997/9 models of Ford Vehicles were self-adjusting via the clutch-foot-pedal. The pedal engages a ratchet system called the QUADRANT & PAWL and is part of the pedal. The mechanism is very similar on older Ford models of: Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Granada, Transit & others. Newer vehicles may have a Hydraulic Clutch from 1997/9 onwards, and these work differently from the cable & pully mechanism. Clutch-fluid can be bled to improve the ability to operate the clutch, however this is not necessarily a method of adjusting the clutch.
If your reading this article because you have a broken clutch-pedal then please read on.
If when pressing the foot-pedal it feels like cable is broken, or pedal is loose, ...This is symptomatic of failure of the QUADRANT & PAWL 'ratchet' mechanism due to wear of teeth on the ratchet.
In some cases the pedal fails to pull the clutch out far enough to change gear, and may make a 'springing noise'. This is due to slippage on some worn ratchet-teeth, but the mechanism has not reached full failure. There are 2 ways to remedy the fault.
1. Change the Quadrant & Pawl, using only genuine Ford parts. #Beware of inferior mouldings that are not up to standard e.g. too soft, and do not trust 'pattern-parts' on eBay etc.
2. SHORTEN THE CABLE.
- Disconnect SPRING ON THE FOOT-PEDAL to release ratchet mechanism.
- Clamp cable slack (engine end).

If the clutch was not disengaging I would say the clutch master is empty of hydraulic fluid, this would be a result of a leak in the master or the slave cylinder. If the clutch is not engaging I would suspect the clutch disc has shredded in which case the clucth assembly would have to be replaced.
Why does my vectra rev counter jump from 500 revs to 1500 when i push clutch in?
If your car is in any gear 1+ releasing the clutch takes load off of the engine. Causing it to idle higher, where it normally would. So if you think its odd, its normal for a manual to do that.
