check your fluid, is it easier to find a gear when the car has warmed up?

but it sounds more like your gearlinkage has a worn bush, or has slackened, this is common.

Yeah it's pretty simple, fiddely, and don't throw ANY parts away, (i throw away a wee clip, later relised i needed it) you'd find a good guide using the search mate
your linkage is fine i'll assume, i reckon just a bush, 2 new ones wouldn't be much and take you half an hour to change.
