You may find that the engine is moving independent of the shift cable.
With older/softer engine mounts the thrust may be moving the engine
closer/further from the cable.  Most cables are attached to the engine so
this doesn't happen but if the cable of mount is broken or failing it may
be causing the problem.  Get a partner to create the problem while you are
watching the engine.

It could also be as simple as adjusting the cable.
