Check your gear linkage for wear and correct adjustment in case that's the problem,I take it this is happening when stationary also?

If the gear lever feels `sloppy`, its probably the return spring thats broken (very common fault) but an easy fix. You can get the spring from Ford.

Could be the base shifter plate assembly or the spring on it .Not expensive part and easy to fit , just got to check it first .Quite common .
