[DSM351]

My shifter was having the same problem and it was centered in the hole.

Take and wrap about 1/8" of electrical tape around the shifter.
Then pull the shifter boot up so that it pulls the rubber up higher than it wants to be naturally and this works great on mine.
Then ty a black ty wrap over the boot to hold it up over the tape.

Its much harder to explain than to do.
