Well this could be a number of things ranging from very cheap&easy to
fix to a major overhaul.
Start checking and replacing the springs and balls in the shifting
mechanism. The springs loose their tension and may have to be renewed or
perhaps you can fit some small washers under them. You will have a 50%
chance of succes.
In some cars soggy or broken engine and/or gearbox mounts can cause the
gear lever to interfere with parts of the transmission tunnel thus
knocking the gear lever out of gear.
These are usually simple and straight forward jobs costing little money.
After that it will become expensive. If synchro's, bearings, gears
and/or forks are worn it means a rebuild and serious $$/.
