Its more than likely a worn selector.
It would be a gearbox out to change the selector.

You sure? If I remember correctly there's some part of the subframe or chassis in the way in an '05 '06 transit. Not sure about newer ones.

The subframe has to be dropped on the back to let the gearbox out but its simple enough as long as the bolts come out.
