Cycle overlap is when you shoot semi and the gear train has so much momentum it brings the piston back part ways before coming to a stop.
If you have really bad cycle overlap, what you actually need is a neo magnet motor. The increased magnet strength REALLY helps the mechbox come to a stop faster.
If you have bad cycle overlap with a neo magnet motor, you may need a lighter gearset or a different gear ratio.
And never, under any circumstances, should you ever over-shim the gears to provide more resistance to the gear train.
