Hurst Billet Shifter question 2

I installed the Hurst shifter this past weekend and it is great.

I used the black 2 1/4 inch Hurst **** with the shiht pattern on it.
The problem I had was that when I tightened the **** to a point that seems solid, the shift pattern isn't lined up. Thought about using a thin jam nut but I haven't had any luck finding the correct nut. Any tricks out there to help me line the pattern up?

Mine came with the jam nut,also. Make sure you really tighten the **** on the shifter, but you'll need the jam nut.

Thanks for the quick responses. I just called Hurst and they are sending the jam nut. This mod feels good.

I couldn't find the jam but that was supposed to come with mine. I experienced the same problem, so to recitfy it I used a black rubber washer. **** is now tight as a (you know what) now!
