Hi,

Have you checked the bolt on the gear selector linkage? Might be worth a try but more info needed.

If you look on the ford mondeo users website you should see a few comments about this. Assuming the gearbox is OK and not badly worn then the problem could be it needs an oil change- this seems to help. Make sure you use the correct oil!!
