Lift up your shift boot and make sure the plastic swivel ball is still in
one piece and the fingers holding the shifter spring are all there.  Move it
from gear to gear looking for abnormal movement.  If that is OK it sounds
like a broken linkage piece or misalignment of the linkage shaft.  My $0.02.
