Sounds like you need to readjust the shift linkage - It is described in the manual, but loosening the top adjuster and resetting the position of the lever is all that needs to be done.  That said, your gearbox is showing signs of wear as this is a common occurrence on gray gearboxes.

I agree with Mick - check your engine mounts. I broke the shifter tube once many years ago because of a busted engine mount. If the engine and gearbox are moving, it will put a strain on the gear linkages.
