Do the shifters have the same sized plate where they bolt to the tunnel? If so just mark the old plate and bolt the new one in the same place.

Otherwise there are some posts on here about adjusting that plate to sort out gear selection, ie if you mis place it you will struggle to get one or more gears. A quick search should bring up some helpful info.

Also check out rob and daves vw pages
