Another suggestion might be to move the magnet as far down the shifter as possible. Too close to the gear selector shaft, and you won't get enough travel in the magnet.

Also, in looking on ebay, many of them count to 8, but if you look hard you can find one that counts to 6.
I'm not sure, but it sounds like a good idea. Mine goes to 7, but if it's opporating correctly I never see it. When I get glitches, I just rest with N at a light. One of the things that makes it difficult to get spacing right is there seems to be more travel in the shifter when in use vs. on stands. I've even tried running it on stands, which isn't as easy as it sounds and didn't ultimately get it right.... a lot of trial and error. I've been considering changing the type of switch for a while.
