It’s possible that the levers that are engaged by the shift handle are misaligned, or their springs may be bent. the springs that are rivetted to the levers must point straight forward and if you are in first or reverse then the spring for the 2-3 lever must be in the centre slot in the H-gate on the front of the shifter mechanism, and vice-versa. In neutral, both springs should be in the centre of the gate. Crawl under the dash with a light!
