With the proper finger/hand/arm position it is nearly impossible to mess up.

1-2: Fingers like you are holding a beer can, thumb floating up, elbow tucked in against your side.
2-3: Keep elbow tucked in, rotate hand so palm is down and palm the shifter forward
3-4: Rotate hand even further in the same direction so that your thumb is down and palm is facing out(upside down of 1-2 and definitely a little awkward at first), elbow should now be out

For the 1-2 you can obviously pull the shifter toward you a little. However, for 3 and 4 you should be letting the shifter centering springs do the work and not trying to direct it.

Someone had a really good video on this probably almost 20 years ago on YT. I think it was in an f-body or a C5.
