Probably the two plastic bushings that surround the shifter pivot ball are cracked.

Click on each picture in the link below. You'll see a caption describing what the picture is showing.

If you go to E-bay and search on m5r2 you'll see a couple of people selling shifter repair kits.

This kit looks like everything you need. I don't think the large washer in the pic. is used on the M5r2 for the F150's. The m5r2 on the F150's uses a thin wavey washer and then a thin retainer clip that clips on to each bushing.
