It's mounted in the gearchange housing under the gearstick, on the same side as reverse, naturally enough, and is a brass screw in unit secured with a lock nut. It can be adjusted by releasing the locknut and screwing the body in or out. Sounds like yours only needs a v.small amount of adjustment. You can get to it from underneath the car (easier if the exhaust box is off) or from the top after removing the gearlever gaiters.
