What to do? (shifter problem)

When I got my car off the dyno the other day I noticed it wouldn't go in first gear. Then it wouldn't go in 3rd or 5th either without popping out. Upon returning home to my relief I found the stop on the shifter had just come loose. So I tightened it and continued driving. Then it came loose again. So I tighten it and a lil later it comes loose again. So this has become a normalcy for the pony. Why won't it stay in there!! Do you think it broke a bolt or something on the dyno. These damn shifter stops have been quite an annoyance. I'm thinking about putting the short throw that came with the transmission back on so I don't have to worry about the "adjustable stops" The way they are set on it right now are pretty far back anyway. It's like not having a short throw at all anymore.

Forgive me for not knowing your entire setup and intruding as well, but don't the stop bolts have locking nuts to retain them in the proper position?

I guess mine busted a nut?
