RTFM. Step 8:

Put it in 3rd, tighten till it barely makes contact. Back out 1 full turn. Push shifter all the way forward to be sure it doesn't hit the stop bolt constantly as you shift to 3rd (should be very close but not hitting it). Place in 4th or 5th and repeat with the rear stop bolt.

eh, sorry bro i got confused between this thread and the dude askin about his new MGW. Hence the RTFM comment, i'd forgotten you had got both. congrats on the install! If you were using the stock shifter i'm sure you're gonna be amazed with the new one!
