Usually, the end of the gear shift lever is worn which lets it slip between the slots in the shifter sliders. the slots probably do wear some as well.
I have had success with both my WD and WD-45 with welding up the end and grinding back to what I think is near the original shape.
The pins at the top of the shift tower also wear as do the holes in the tower.
I have made new pins by grinding down the head of a bolt and cutting to the right length.
As I recall, the last set of pins I made from 5/16" bolts and I drilled the tower holes to 5/16" as well.
If I recall correctly, they were originally 1/4".
