This is a very common problem.
Begin by replacing the trans handle seat and socket.
We sell them both. It may not be going all the way into gear

Or, you may have a worn mainshaft center bearing retrainer plate and/or worn transmission bearings. We also sell a heavy duty machined steel plate. It costs $35 bucks, but the trans must be torn down to install it.
