Default quick fix for ws6 short stick?

Hey everyone im hopeing one of you can help me out here, i just got the ws6 short stick in my car i like the look and feel its just that my shifter **** when placed corectly on the stick is loose in the correct position meaning like 1st and 2nd gear are closest to me i have the white hurst shifter ****. i was wondering if there is something like a quick fix to hold it in the correct position maybe a washer or something of that nature if someone could post a liknk to a part or a similar write up id appretiate it alot i love the hurst shifter ****.

the **** fits the stick fine its just like there are not enough threads to keep it tight in the "correct position" if i could spin it another 90 degrees it would be perfect but my ocd is kicking in even though its on there solid im thinking a washer under the **** could hold it tight hopefully someone understands what i mean and chimes in...

Try wrapping the threads with teflon tape. It should make it tight enough it will stay where you need to place it. It worked for me.

ya mine is like that also, except I have more thread to tighten it, but if I do it will not face the correct way. so I just leave it a little loose, no biggie. I may have to put some loc tite or teflon tape now that I see the suggestions.
