The shifter should hit the stop, but then be slightly off the stop when it's at rest with your hand off it........so just back it off a little bit.

Back it off one full-turn when the car is in gear and when it is resting against the stop. That is when you back it off a turn. If the car pops out of gear in 4th for example...pop the cover back off and back the nut another half turn until the popping out stops.

Good Luck
