It appears the shifter cowl needs replacing.

The part is available at many places...I think Ford has it as well.

You have to remove all the inards (shift lever, TS switch ,plate,Hazard light switch and the 3 allen headed screws accessed from the back of the cowl, undo the harness and pull it all off.
