A dime is a bit too much. It's about the thickness of a credit card. Here are the official instructions:
SET THE SHIFTER STOPS as follows:
Back off the stop bolts so that the shifter moves freely into all gears
Place the shifter in third gear. Push forward firmly on the lever while turning the stop bolt in by hand until it contacts the shift lever. Once the stop bolt contacts the shift lever, back off the bolt 1/6 turn, until there is a small air gap (about .010") between the shift lever and the stop, while still applying pressure to the lever. Pushing on the lever takes all of the slack or play out of the linkage, ensuring you get the proper adjustment.
Hold the bolt with a 1/2" wrench while tightening the jam nut against the shifter tower with another wrench.
Double check the space between the shift lever and the stop bolt. When you push very hard on the shift lever it should barely contact the stop bolt, but when you let go of the lever it should not touch the bolt, but instead have a small air gap between them.
Place the shifter in second gear and adjust the other stop bolt as outlined above.
Shift the shifter through all gears and double check the stop clearance in each gear. The shifter must be able to shift freely into all gears without interference from the stop bolts.
